Oh no, I’d sooner trade my kids then them.
Well alright then! But I'll be watching!
Those blue lines are beautiful! And chubby enough to have survived shipping to Mars!

Just got back from vacation! Woohoo!
Coincidentally, just realized I can share Instagram links on here which is helpful because posting videos on this format is torturous.

What frags are you getting?! If you didn't include Ty's Ironman on your order I would recommend doing so if it's in your budget and you don't already have it. One of the nicest Acros in the hobby!
Regardless of what you order, you won't be disappointed ordering from Ty.

Really appreciate the kind words sir! And I’m biased but agreed… I love the Ironman. It’s one of my favorite to ogle in the tank.

I love the classics. They really are impressive still even in this new age of reefing.

Would you consider the Ironman a tabling acro?

I would consider it more of a cup shaped growth pattern than a true tabling acro like an Efflo or soli.

Now known as "FarmerTy The Sirens". Not after the mythical Sirens, but after the modern ones I will hear as I nick it from your tank and make my getaway!

Me babbling on and on…
so...when do we get the actual video footage of the aefw disintegrating/exploding in real time? that sounds like the stuff of sci-fi story....
ps, i believe you, just want to see it because i have no intention of finding myself an aefw to test on, lol
Hope all is well, been quiet around here....

A OK around here. Just enjoying some time off with the boys for Summer. Hope everyone else is having a great summer too! I’ll jump back on the horse again soon! Plus I have something brewing in the background I’ll share when I’m back!
So it is not just me who has been "distracted" this Summer. Took up another consuming hobby, but once the weather goes back to poopy, my reefing appetite should return.A OK around here.

Until then though, my bugs are back I think. (Not aefw, but white bugs.) Do you have your milligram per X gallon recipe handy? And the tabs with the Praziquantel are okay, right?
*edit: your interceptor recipe I meant. And in my usual patient fashion, I just went ahead and dumped in 25mg for 250G volume.

Oh yeah, it’s been a very “distracted” summer with the boys. I’ll be back to normal in the next couple of weeks.
The tabs with praziquantel were okay to use for me, they just have an added effect of killing bristle worms in my tank, which could lead to some die-off and slightly elevated nutrients but it wasn’t a big issue for me.
I don’t have the exact amount on me but I used 7-8x the recommended amount for red bugs. Red bugs is one large dog pill for every 400 gals. So 7-8x that amount is the most effective amount to eradicate white bugs and possibly black bugs too (never encountered). I typically followed up with another treatment two weeks later to wipe any that survived.
Oddly, never had an issue before but last time I did it in my QT/backup system, it killed my saltwater mollies. As freshwater fish, I think they were perhaps just so dumb they ate the little bits before they dissolved completely but maybe it doesn’t agree with them.
