SBB-Mid Summer Blowout Coral Sale!

[billyocean]

You know one of the guys I worked with at my old job. We where talking about what others called pests and we came to a sort of agreement that in the wild there are no pests. Everything has a purpose. So yeah I'm in the sane boat of not dripping corals or fish.

I mean....to each their own. It's ypur money and time and effort when a pest strikes. It's only a matter of when...not if.

Those are easy with interceptor

If you can get it. I'm seriously starting to sympathize with the Bayer users

 

[billyocean]

I have no qualms with using bayer...I just don't have to.

If people wish to save their acros and are willing to remove them from the rocks and kill what's left encrusted... then dip them at least once a week for ten weeks OR drain the tank and spray a kcl solution on them for 4 weeks and hope it works...by all means...have at it.

Can you see these pests under mild magnification ?

Edit - I guess you wouldn’t see eggs

Fair. Assuming I order anywhere else in future only two vendors out there that I would even trust the frag plugs in my tank these days. One is sbb and the other is battlecorals

Best to have a microscope with an led screen...much easier.

It's not a matter of trust. It's a matter of mother nature finds a way. We have to bat 1000% to be pest free...mother nature only needs one hit.

I dont...but your comment of "mild magnification" led me to believe you didnt....or thr microscope suks

Depends on the pest. And all it takes is one bad miss to lose months or years of work

3" green with purple rim confusa

Some old pics I still have..tons of options for magnification levels.

This not like “scientist grade” but it does a good job and has illumination

Then IF you see something, old frag farmer secret, just microwave (no water! Just put frag on a paper towel) 10 seconds at a time. The insides of the bugs / eggs cook before the coral is harmed

That sounds like a terrible idea. Just scrape it off and redip
