The most my wife has done was complain the tank wasn’t colorful enough or ask about cost of coral, which I bend the truth on.

I never would have guessed!

Have you tried hydrogen peroxide dip, there’s a protocol with the amount of h202 To water ratio depending on species.

I have before on some zoas and soft corals with algae issues. Killed the algae, corals were pretty shocked

You're recoverd already?

Compared to the rest of the summer this was a drop in the bucket. New transmission, pool pump and ER visits for 2 kids

Colorful. Are those dragon lashes still doing good for you? Just wondering if they will extend more

If you don’t want to dip you could take a eye dropper or small paint brush and apply 3% h202 directly to the algae. Hold the frag so the droplets fall downwards and away from the coral.

This is my dragon lashes this morning. It extends roughly .5-.75” for me

Peroxide dipping guidelines (for corals)

A while back Justin Credabel published this chart detailing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide appropriate for dipping various genera of corals. I've used these guidelines myself a few times to remove algae from coral frags and it's been quite effective. Justin Credabel's hydrogen...

Coral can be dipped longer in a lower concentrate solution. ? concentrate for up to 20 minutes for deep, persistent algae or bacterial infections, or necrotic areas.

I have found the formula to be on the conservative side. Or my h202 is expiring and not as potent as a new bottle. Not sure if it breaks down over time

You should start to see micro bubbles forming on the algae after a few minutes. If you dont, you need more h2o2.

I just dipped a Goni and needed to almost double the recommended amount. My algae strain was either highly resistant, or my h2o2 is old.

Sign the dosage is right -
Takes about a minute or two for bubbles to initially develop on algae + if you blow the bubbles away they should reform in a few seconds.

No kidding! It's been rough...only getting rougher

Those puppies are reaching out for sure. The lashes kind of block the view of the base

Yes the lashes definitely block the view. The first pic shows a gap from the flow changing and you can see the stalk. It’s a very fluffy Goni compared to most others I have

Very interesting species with lots of variation. I wish I started collecting these 2 years ago

How’s yours looking ? Do you have any pics?

For those of you that haven’t stumbled on my thread, you might want to take a look. This death circle started just a couple of weeks age. Consensus seems to be zeroing in on the new flatworm variant. Scary.

That alve is stunning! Are those asian acans? Very vivid colors. I have old school acans, ones that turned orange after some time. Can't wait to see updated pics along the way.

How is it going

How is it going

Trying to find someone with a good microscope. Need a closer inspection on whatever it is. Thinking I will just take the entire top rock out and trash it. The death is spreading fast enough each day that I can see it. HomeWrecker and PC Rainbow are on that rock so will try to save them. Cut them off, dip them good and put them on a rack. The entire rock is going down fast.

Good thing it's 5 pages of pontification When the answer has been on the first page, the whole time

Lot of suggestions to use a baster and keep hitting all the Acro to blow them off. I’m thinking before I do that, I want to get rid of that top rock. Right now, the death circle is confined to that one rock. If I start blowing them everywhere they can land on all the other corals. If they are happy on that rock, I want to keep them there and not spread them around.
