FarmerTy's 215-gallon SPS Tank

[FarmerTy]

Hey Ty your tank’s awesome I always enjoy checking new post. I’m a fellow Texas reefer. I have some questions for you I saw in a old post you talked about treating grey/blackish bugs with interceptor x3 normal dosage. I have them right now lol. Still having a hard time tracking down how many mg to how much water and etc. I was wondering if you could possible text me or something. I was also wondering if you used interceptor plus. I have the medium size dog chews.

Hey there Jetta,

It was about 3-4 years ago so my memory is a little hazy on it but I believe I used interceptor, big dog formula, that treats 400 gallons? So 3x that concentration. What I had were gray bugs... Basically gray looking copepods that attached very similarly to red bugs on acros... And then munched and caused less polyp extension. They didn't ever kill anything... Just annoyed it.

One treatment plus a follow up a week later and I never saw them again in my system.

It wasn't the tank destroying black bugs that some people have reported having to deal with. Everyone mentioned the black bugs moving really fast and destroying colonies in a matter of days.

Ty you could set up a third tank with the v4? That way you could show three frags under three different lights? Just thinking out loud

The locals are ganging up on me! [emoji44]

Maybe we can do a gofundme for FarmerTy's light experiment study and buy those lights so I can test it with T5s, Radions, and the V4s! [emoji12]

I’m over here secretly hoping it’s something way out of left field. Fingers crossed for snowflake eel

Everyone is thinking Angel because everyone wants one. They love their corals more.

I will offer a 3% commission to the last person to suggest the v4 to Ty prior to him buying it

I’d love to take you up but I have 2 V4’s and 3 V2.1b’s over my tank....

 

[Mortie31]

A pair of crosshatch triggers would be cool in there...

 

[jolt]

I would play, but ....

 

[Caravanshaka]

I feel like the only local that doesn't know what you are planning.

SO......how about an octopus??

I'm starting to think this was just a ploy to increase the post count on his thread!
