TheKleinReef Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Sps 101, learn to live with pests. Dnt worry about it, ur sps still look legit man. I've always had a few of them out and about. But when I get PE like this: ORA A. Valida by Roger Klein, on Flickr i really could care less. Thanks Arce. 2 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 can't really do anything when i'm 1800 miles from the tank. It's something your parents can easily manage, man, they're BAMFs. Don't be feared of the red bugs! http://www.melevsreef.com/node/655 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Since you have a chiller and automation I would slowly lower the tank temp to the mid 70's, then go even lower in the winter. Not sure why more people don't use temperature to kill things, especially when most if not all tank like can do fine at the lower temperatures. Red bugs are supposed to be killed at 70F and the colder the temps the slower the bugs get. I had little non red bugs (brown spider like) on a few acros, but once I lowered the temperature to hit 77 at night they seemed to have vanished. /shrug 1 Quote Link to comment

But most of my sps were still healthy and had great color and growth. The decline of my tank was just when i didnt keep up with maintaining it. 2 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 A wrasse would like eating bugs. I've been thinking about getting one, but my parents hate covers. I was also thinking about getting some dragon face pipefish. Since you have a chiller and automation I would slowly lower the tank temp to the mid 70's, then go even lower in the winter.

I can't really does the tank with medication while I'm away, but I can meddle with the temperature from here 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 - I'm glad you're in a good place. Now tell me about PTA school. Pipefish are high maintenance with their food requirements.

TheKleinReef Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 - I'm glad you're in a good place. Now tell me about PTA school. Pipefish are high maintenance with their food requirements. PTA school is good. Got a 100% on my first anatomy and physiology quiz so that's a great start! I know pipefish are tricky, but with the variety I'm already feeding the tank, training them will be the only tricky part really. Quote Link to comment
