Bogdan Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Mainly red bugs, didnt see any flatworms. There were a lot of copepods and amphipods. All creatures were dead in a matter of minutes,corals extended polyps after 15 minutes when placed back in tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Grog Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Nice photos. Always surprises me how many things come off frags. Never seen red bugs on any so far but these are great shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 What did you use to dip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Awesome photos. Did you use the Bayer dip? My sps looked the best they've ever looked right immediately after a dip in Bayer. They love it. I always just seem to kill amphipods when I dip. Never seen a flatworm, nudi, red big or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogdan Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yes I used Bayer dip. It really work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Just remember to rinse well before placing back into the tank. I did the preventative dip on all my SPS corals back in January and all my amphipods died in the tank. I am barely starting to see them again 5 months later! My system involved dipping them for 7-10 mins in Bayer, swishing them back and forth, then putting them in another bucket with saltwater from the tank and lettting it sit in there for 10 mins, and then swishing them back and forth. Even with the soak and rinse afterwards with fresh tank water, enough Bayer got in the main display to wipe out my amphipods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
