sprite Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Found out this morning I have aefw. Since I have all frags here's my plan... Dip all frags, cut all frags off the plug and remount on new ones, continue dipping for 8 weeks or longer if dip produces more aefw. After the first dip this morning and a thorough inspection I found that only 3 frags actually had bite marks at this time ( all from same vendor). I will continue inspecting before and after every dip for bite marks and eggs Link to comment
evan127 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 That's such an amazing idea! Wow! Any more pictures of your system? Link to comment
lilmatty5dimes Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thank you Second Bayer dip was done Tuesday. Here are the results after dipping about 30 frags DIE Total time 20 minutes instead of 2 hours Dipping The rinse thats great thinking Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Just curious how many rinses you do? I hear even the smallest amount that gets back in the system can be bad for snails and such. I was thinking about picking up bayer but I haven't added new frags in a while. That Orange Passion is do die for! Link to comment

I was thinking about picking up bayer but I haven't added new frags in a while. That Orange Passion is do die for! I have just been rinsing once and my crabs and snails have been fine.. I just swish then around, let it sit from a few, then swish and back in the tank they go DIE thats great thinking The handle acts as I hanger also. It goes across the top of the tank and the rack hangs in the water after I put them back in Link to comment

sprite Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Not much to update on. Colors continue to improve and I noticed a little cyano yesterday afternoon starting to form. P04 was .015 on Hannah and Nitrate was 5 according to Salifert kit. I been dosing .05 ml seachem phosphorus everyday to keep it at .01 and I think maybe that where the cyano is coming from. Before that I had never seen it in my tank. Link to comment
