ReVive Dip, AEFW, and Dead Acros...

[SBRob]

So hopefully this won't be a huge mistake and certainly will be my last SPS freshwater dip!!!!!

lol we hope so too! I wish you were closer so I could replace some of that sps you lost too.

Sorry to hear about this, Felixc395. SPS can be very delicate, but they can also come back from the brink. I've seen it many times. Be patient and perhaps more will survive. Remember that if one polyp can make I through, there's a chance of recovery.

FW dips are for fishes to remove parasites

Ive dipped some sps in freshwater that was the same ph and temp as the tank water.I only dipped them for a few seconds though.

bummer, sorry to hear that bro. i believe in the directions, it says to use tank water. i know it does for coralrx. in this hobby, we learn by trial and error. aefw are a pita keep a look out for eggs.

Sorry for your loss, but at least those AEFW are gone!

 

[Felixc395]

I don't know if the AEFW are gone, but the acros certainly are! I've lost over 80% of all my acros because of the dip, AEFW, and stress. I set up a frag/quarantine tank and all thats left for acros is a maricultured pink Mille, yellow spongodes, and a blue millepora. It's a real bummer losing over $250 to a variety of stupid, careless, and unfortunate reasons... :\
