bdevillier19 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Really sorry to hear the Dino's are coming back. When you say get rid of everything that touched water, are you referring to all rock and sand or are you referring to equipment as well? A strong mix of hydrogen peroxide doesn't work either I'm assuming? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Everything. Tank, equipment, rock, sand, fish, everything. Link to comment
bdevillier19 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 So even if you empty the tank, clean with vinegar and let it air dry for a week or two they will still survive? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Maybe, maybe not. If it comes to that, I will not be taking any chances. Link to comment
bdevillier19 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Wow that sucks. All that work into the light only to run into Dino's again and possibly start over. Link to comment
Jstn Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Sorry about the dinos, that's gotta be tough. Link to comment
ArabTanker Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Wait... Ive had dinos. At the same time my tank went downhill. Is that why so many of my coral died? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Probably. The dinos that bloom in our tanks are toxic species, some make ciguatoxin, some make palytoxin, some make both, among others. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think these things are a small Parazoanthus sp. New friends Link to comment
Tamberav Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Wait... don't throw live fish in the garbage... now those you would really have to send me. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Nope, they'd need to go, as well. Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think these things are a small Parazoanthus sp. or hydroids Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 The sebae nem just detached. Weird. It's been looking a bit shrivelly compared to normal for the past couple of days. I think it may be because it had no sand, just rock. Normally they like to stick their foot through sand onto a rock, so I'm surprised it stayed put as long as it did. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Nope, they'd need to go, as well. Noooo!! They deserve to live! Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 I don't believe that they necessarily 'deserve' to live (no animals, including us, have an inherent right to live, you live or you don't, things are never fair or not, they just are), but they will not simply be netted out and tossed in the garbage, they would be destroyed quickly if it ever comes to that. Nothing in this tank, or that has ever been a part of it, will be taken out and put into other tanks. Even my nano system that I'm working on right now will never see any livestock or equipment that this one has seen, which sucks giant dicks since most of the extra live rock that I have in this tank now was meant to go into it.

Spiderguardnano Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Damm sounds like an experiment gone wrong "everything must be destroyed" Link to comment
Amphiprion1 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 or hydroids Agreed. I have little resilient patches in my current system. Link to comment

There has to be away to qt and treat live stock, it's worth a shot and frag them foward with a warning that they were in a dinos infested tank. Even a fish only tank would be good them and I'm sure some one would take them locally. Link to comment

Even a fish only tank would be good them and I'm sure some one would take them locally. I'm sure I could find people that would take them regardless of what was wrong with them - but I cannot in good faith let anything out of this system until I can verify that dinoflagellates are no longer in this system, which, unfortunately, will more than likely never happen.

CrazyEyes Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 If you get rid of the tank I'll make the drive.............seriously. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Like I said, if I decide to get rid of it, it's not going to get away in one piece lol Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 You know what, I can't even say that I blame you. When I couldn't get my dc pump to stop leaking Im sure I could have sold it but it felt much better smashing it to pieces with a hammer. Link to comment
