    Default **Egg Crate? Need to Borrow** TIME TO KILL.

    I need to borrow some media reactors. I am going this weekend without lighting, and will be FW dipping all of my rocks. I also need pumps to run the media reactors. This is to start the eradication process of the red planaria that have been making me hate my tank.

    I will be filling the reactors with carbon to try and curb the toxins that the planaria release upon death.

    If anyone has any spare carbon, it would also be appreciated.

    After I go through this venture, I will be nuking the rest of the FW with chemicals in two weeks / month.

    With steely resolve and as much optimism as one can have in this situation, I am ready to go through hell and back to finally curb this horrid infestation.
    All kind words and support are greatly appreciated.

    I REALLY have to thank my wife who suprisingly has taken interest in helping me with this. I think she feels bad seeing me so frustrated. I have been watching videos of my old 75 when it was packed end to end with beautiful corals. I hope to rise again.

    Thanks,
    Erik

    I have a TLF that I currently use for my GFO. I would just need to borrow them and the pumps to run them if that's at all possible. Let me know!

    Sounds like quite a task. I guess the planaria got worse since the other day. Hope it works out man.

    I can come get them whenever JT.

    Andrew, I did a 50g water change yesterday, and the population exploded to several million.

    Looks like I will be removing all of my fish, and treating the whole tank with FWExit! or the like. I am just sick and tired of being sick and tired.

    Hey Erik... give us a shout. We are right around the corner from you and have the hiatt just sitting in the garage. it is still full of the tri sided carbon, which I think would be fine to use if you rinsed it well. You would just need some tubing to hook it up. It would really be like a super big carbon reactor... you would just need a big sized pump to push water through it. We might even be able to scrounge up one of those if you need it.

    Beyond that, we might have a couple of misc power heads around...

    Hang in there bro, i know you will make it thru.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...
