What the heck just happened to my acans and mussa?

Did you see any AEFW drop off during the dips? I am fairly certain the were only on the valida. Apparently they love prostratas, validas, and tolerate milles.

well maybe the hypersalinity treatment at least killed the flatworms? ;)

Well they may have been there I saw a few on the first dip but the hypersalinity killed all the stix. I was able to save a few frags but most all of em bit it. I have a few things cycling in water trying to see if theres any sign of life but I screwed the pooch on them.

Now everything else seems to be doing quite well.

I had a good cloud of flat worms on the first dip (planaria) but after that and the salt and then 2 more dips and a scrub on everything it looked pretty clean and happy. I toothbrushed most of it as well.

I took a chance and a bunch of it is in my DT now. I dipped in 3 parts and then scrubbed...So technically they got 9 dips. They went from Tropic Marin, to Flatworm Exit, to Lugos, to salt n scrub. to rinse, then to clean holding....I did this 3 times.

I also did 30% water changes every 12 hours on the cycling tanks I had going and anything I saw got scrubbed.

I have some stuff im still working on but I think most if it should be good to go. Like I said when I was there if I can save 10% of what I got from you and dont crash my system im coming out ahead.

BTW I saw the worlds largest bristle worm actually 2 of them come out of that rock.....one was 5 inches long and the diamater of a sharpie. I got scared and had one of those moments where I thought about screaming like a little girl and hurling the rock across the room. Self control maintained I actually got him into a frag cup and checked him out with tweezers just because he was kinda cool..

Frag cup full of freshwater will absolutely make them dead in about .2 seconds.
