bugs - TREATED

[hobogato]

the weird thing jeff, the frag of that seaworld coral you have that is infested in your tank - not one bug on it today.

well, i think im gonna have to treat em. they are increasing greatly in numbers and i dont want them to get out of hand, so i will move as many of my hermits as i can over to the prop tank and start the first treatment tomorrow. the sps dont really seem to be effected yet, but i dont want to chance it any longer.

wish me luck.

well, i treated the tank with interceptor this morning. i was able to get out alot of hermits, and two fire shrimp (about half way thru the 6.5 hours, so i dont know if they will make it). i also took out alot of liverock rubble loaded with pods so i can get those to repopulate pretty quickly in about two weeks - as long as none of the bugs made it.

just finished the big water change, now it is a waiting game.

Great, you'll be happy you did it Ace.

I've never lost a fire shrimp in a treatment.

Red leg/scarlet hermits usually don't die.....small blue ones die quickly!

Don't put anything you pulled out...back in your tank for at least 2 weeks.

i may be crazy, but today - some of the corals seem to look better - already? maybe it is just psychological?

[TexasTodd]

NOPE, you're not crazy.
