Yeah the massive FW Exit dosage was scary, and my corals were VERY ticked off during the process. I wouldn't ever recommend for anyone else to do what I did though. I feel like I really know my tank well and there's not much I can't counteract or fix, and it still scared the heck out of me. :lol:Hey man, glad to hear you got rid of the cyano, I'm having huge problems with it in my tank at the moment, I basically have a box of water and red slime carpet ...
Sucks about the bubble algae, I've never read anything on how to get rid of it so I've unfortunately got no suggestions ...
I'm still struggling with my bryopsis, between the bryopsis, cyano, and general dirtiness my tank looks pretty bad at the moment, need to do a big clean out...
Glad to hear that the FW exit seems to be working ... I've heard of so many tanks crashing after doing a massive FW exit dose due to the number of flatworms dying, but I'm glad that yours has pulled through ok ...
Keep us updated
Thanks Rob!TJ,
Your corals are looking awesome! Apparently i have a lot of reading to do to catch up in your thread!
I really like the Blue Life Red Slime Control product. More than a few people I know (including myself) have used it with success. It gets rid of the cyano very quickly. Just took me 4 or 5 days along with 2 pretty large water changes and fresh carbon to get all the medicine out of the water so my skimmer could work properly again.Seems to be a trend happening...I'm going through a flat worm outbreak, Have the carpet of cyano and the tank needs some major TLC. I've got the FW Exit set to go in the tank and 70g of saltwater mixed and ready to go for a water change. After reading that It helped you TJ with some of your FW's I figured I'd get off my butt and get after it too...
A very knowledgable friend of mine suggested a Green coris wrasse as the best cure for FW's but I haven't had any luck finding one locally so FW exit it is.
As far as the FW Exit goes. I have mixed thoughts on it. I've gone through more than a few boxes of it only to have them return within a matter of days. If I happen to see them again, I'll probably try out the Levasole (sp) treatment instead. Good luck though. Marc has a nice write-up/guide on his website about using FW Exit.
