Nanofreak79 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Never occurred to me before, but it will now be a part of my regimen going forward. Yeah, it won't kill eggs, but at least you'll see the little d-bags die and fall out, which gives you a heads up at least. My other dips didn't knock them off the coral....that's how I got them a few years ago. Link to comment

My other dips didn't knock them off the coral....that's how I got them a few years ago. I STILL have not seen any eggs, I just assume they are there and will engage an overlapping treatment process. MAN these things suck. Seems like a lot of that going around. Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Is it wrong that I kind of want a nudi tank? Talk about expensive, though. Maybe a berghia tank? I have a cool build idea for it Link to comment

evanski Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 All...thanks for the kind comments. It is so gratifying to see the growth coming in, especially after having a nudi invasion. I'm glad to see some success with this tank, i just picked one up today Are you happy with the 660 return versus the 440? I know i have some upgrading to do... Good luck! Make sure to read up on the Pico forum and look at the other Fluval Spec threads and Fluval Spec users thread. Yes, VERY happy with the 606...flow is always problematic, and I think this is the way to go. Looks awesome! I see the moose . Moose is awesome! Tank looks great I love those zoas Ha! It was so funny to see it for the first time. Enjoy it while you can, because it is growing so fast that it think the moosie-ness is not long for this world.

ninjamyst Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 All...thanks for the kind comments. It is so gratifying to see the growth coming in, especially after having a nudi invasion. Still fighting nudi in my tanks. I dosed FWE twice already. Did you use the recommended dosage of 1 drop per gallon? I even did 1.5 drops per gallon. They dont die!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
evanski Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Still fighting nudi in my tanks. I dosed FWE twice already. Did you use the recommended dosage of 1 drop per gallon? I even did 1.5 drops per gallon. They dont die!!!!!!!!! I did the recommended dosage the first time, 2X the second time. I also watch my zoas like a hawk, and pluck at the first sign of tentacles. Did you pull your carbon when you dosed? Pull filtration, leave pumps on, and pluck those little ####ers. You gotta get the polyps to retract and look REALLY closely, as they camouflage. I wait about an hour before I but the filter rakc back in. Good luck! Thanks for stopping by and having a look. Link to comment

tibbsy07 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Where did you get your marineland 606? I was looking at amazon and it's 40 bucks for a prime-eligible one or 17 for a non-prime one. Link to comment
evanski Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Can't remember if I ordered it on Prime, or through StevieT at In Tank...he has them for $17 plus shipping. Order some filter media, etc. from him to share the shipping cost...win! Link to comment

I picked up my Fluval on sale at Pet Smart for $29.99!!!!!!!!! Half off for anyone with a Pet Smart free membership thing. I've been looking for a nano and at that price I couldn't resist Any AIO you get will need to be upgraded so starting the party at $30 was a no brainer Link to comment

gena Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Besides zoas and monti, would you like some turquoise trumpets? They would look cute in your tank . Link to comment
evanski Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Besides zoas and monti, would you like some turquoise trumpets? They would look cute in your tank . You are soooo generous! To be honest, not sure where I would put them...maybe on the back uncovered rock under the monti? FORKING NUDIBRANCHS! My zoas started to get closed up again...close inspection showed several small nudis, fluorescently colored matching their respective meals! Dosed 2X FWE, removed carbon, and let it cook for about 4 hours before setting things back. I took the light off and went nudi hunting, using it like a flashlight. You can see the little buggers really easy this way, with polyps closed. Saw four, removed two by hand, left two in ( ) to see how well the FWE worked. They were completely immobile later, and did not wiggle even when I took them out with tweezers. Think the 2X dose does the job. Now I need to retreat SEVERAL times, 7-10 days apart to eradicate.

They don't need a ton of light so that might work! They can even sit in the sand. That's where mine are. Sorry about the nudis . Link to comment
