SBB-Mid Summer Blowout Coral Sale!

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.

Thank you! Yes these are all Asian acans

They don’t color morph to orange like the Aussie ones do. And they get much larger polyps. I believe this is more like button scolymia (which is related an acans)

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.

Just dip that rock first. It'll kill what's on it.

Best I can tell from what I’m seeing is the corals are all covered with eggs. Seems I should take the loss of those colonies. Homewrecker and PC Rainbow are on the far side of the rock and seem fine. I will take them, dip them and put them on a frag rack for now.

Just clumped another and did the same small cluster of eggs

Dip them and throw them in an observation tank. You may be able to save them if you want. Is you were closer I'd try to save them. Chance to see if Bayer kills flatworms

It does..not eggs

Could superglue eggs but not 100%

That’s why I’m thinking observation tank. Dip with bayer give it 2-3 days and dip again. If you doing every 2-3 days for a couple of weeks you will probably see some improvement. I know it’s probably the sunk cost trap hitting me. I just think about how much work has gone into getting them to this point and hate to see them be a total loss

My situation is a little different. I was going to break down the tank next year anyway. It’s just now I won’t be giving all the corals away unless someone just wanted to take them anyway.

This right

You're breaking down?

 

[AKL1950]

Yes. New grandbaby want to visit friends and family more, the list goes on. My plan was to live here in the villages for 5 years and then move. The plan was always there to make this a short term tank. Issue with the bugs has just accelerated that a bit.

 

[felda001]

This right

I can’t read the label on that one but it’s the one with these ingredients

Finally legal disclaimer. I am not advocating anyone use this for any off label useage. I have been told this works but cannot confirm or deny its effectiveness and any useage is at your own risk

As I said in your thread breakdown isn’t necessarily forever. When you’re ready to come back I’m sure the community will welcome you.
