A2's Acro Adventure

I had a scribble before and it was a pretty good reef specimen, but it loved some anemones. It would nip, but never do enough damage for me to want to catch it. Keep it well fed with mysis, a good pellet with spirulina (NLS is good) and if you can find some dry food with sponge. If you feed it enough to keep it growing, it might be less likely to want to eat some Z&P. It might require a LOT of food.

I have had tangs do more damage than this scribble did.

Yeah, I tried multiple types of quality frozen food but the scribble preferred pellets. As for feeding it to avoid chomping on Z&P, I'd rather not even take the risk. It's going to suck getting the zoas out, but at least it will only be the one time.
 
Alright so tomorrow I have 3 new acros coming in and they will be the last ones I get in awhile. I'm going to start focusing on my next project, the frag build...
 
Following along, I could learn a thing or two!
 
New acro frags are here! I'm at work, so my gf brought them in and floated them in my sump. They should be fine till I get home when I can acclimate and dip them:

What’s your dip method of choice?

Thanks

Currently, just using Bayer Advanced Insect Killer (20ml/cup of water for 10 minutes --> 10 minute rinse in clean tank water --> repeat second step).

As a head sup, Bayer was rebranded as "BioAdvanced". Same active ingredients.

Bayer is how I ended up with AEFW -- my dip was stronger than yours, and I dipped for 15 minutes.

I advocate the use of melafix pond. It is especially tough on flatworms.

I killed off the AEFW with melafix dipping twice weekly, and replacing my rock work.
