125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

[tbrown]

He messaged them... I hope he really won! He has wanted a gem for a while and it's the only interest he has shown in the tank!

It says giving away gem tangs, 10 winners. Has he heard back from them?

Wait. You have it? Did you see them come out in a dip?

No, the Acros are glued down but I'm pretty sure after talking to other people. The symptoms are right and since only the Acros are affected...

 

[tbrown]

I'm going to try to frag a couple of the bigger pieces, dip, QT, and redip. Hopefully I can transfer them to the 70 (if I ever actually get it?). The 125 will have to go fallow for a while I guess.

@Miami Reef how times did you redip after QT?

He hasn't yet. His name was one that was drawn. I'm guessing with holiday he won't until Tuesday.

AEFW suck, good luck.

Once a week for 6 weeks in a QT. DT fallow for 6 weeks.

My DT will be going fallow once the 70 arrives for sure. My concern - I have a couple of Birdsnest and some Stylos, Some Digitatas and other Montis. I know the AEFW won't eat those but they could lay eggs on them still I'm assuming.

They can lay eggs on anything. The purpose of the fallow is the remove their food source (acros) so the eggs hatch, starve, then die. That time period will be about 6 weeks.

Happy belated birthday! Sad to read you might have AEFW

This isn't AEFW on the glass (little Nudi of some variety?). I had the lights off and he was out on the glass. Doesn't look like Monti Eater.

Sure looks more like something eating rather than regular STN.

That's what my BC losses looked like weird tissue loss patterns for sure. Damage also near middle and very slow.

I ordered some KCL yesterday to dip the Acros. I'll set up a QT tank once the dip gets here.

In the meantime, I fragged the Pink Cadillac and Acroberry. I only got two frags from th Acroberry, but one is a chunk!

I think total I have 6 Pink Cadillac and 2 Acroberry. Also, I hopefully save the last little piece of one of my 2 remaining SBB Acros.

Hopefully at least 1 or 2 of each survives.
