Those grey circular spots look like bites to me. Could just be working from my phone though

Unfortunately, my 14 new Acro’s just arrived and I’ve got to house them in the tank. No place else to put them. I’ll just tell them get ready for a wild ride. Gotta be tough in this house. lol!
I had to buy a new shelf before my order arrived

Good luck. Getting rid of pests once they are there is a tough process. But it's doable. And you'll always be a little worried.

Go to petco and buy a 20 gallon tank and setup with new water, heater. Amazon for a overnighted light (if you don’t have a spare). You can get a smatfarm delivered tomorrow for $140

My petco also sells live rocks and I’ll be honest - it’s nice for the price. You could get a few pieces for skipping cycle.

Or could go to LFS of course for some cycled rock. Everyone’s petco is different, depends on the aquatics manager and if they actually 1) know anything and 2) actually care

If you've got the time I'd go this route. Especially with new already slightly stressed stuff

I’ve got everything I need except bacteria to get it cranking. I do have a bottle of BioSpira but don’t know if it still good. But, since I need to nuke the entire tank, the new guys may just have to go along for the ride.

I got two bottles of biospira as well. Anyone know what happened to biospira? It’s impossible to find

I love Gonis and Euphyllia. Maybe too much

Oof better 4 than all though
Heh, it’s a matter of perspective . I’d rather lose Acros than Gonis or Torches, though in a perfect world not losing any would be preferred obviously

My perspective is I would rather lose acros. If I'm losing torches and gonis my acros have probably been gone.

Grab some Rocks that don't have acros on them..you can kcl dip those and use water from your dt...all the bac you need. Do water changes with the dispays water and it will have all the elements you need in it.

You're going to have to be very thorough on treatment...it's quite an Infestation. But...with elbow grease and diligence you can make it through it. It sucks but it's just another notch on the reefing belt.
