First corals, first dip

Peter luu · Oct 11, 2021

Hi, I brought my first corals package and wanted to do things right with this tank and I used coral rx.

So I float my bags for 20 minutes then drip for another 15minutes and let it sit in mixed tank saltwater and coral rx with small pump for 10minutes then after I dip it in tank water to rinse off and put onto my frags mount.

I brought my corals from a local Reefer and decided to try 5 different zoas frags first, gsp and 2 green monti frags.
All for $70 CAD

I took a look at bottom of the container with coral rx and saw these worm looking on the bottom and wondering what it is and if it was to be concern

Probably bristle worms; you'll get different opinions when you search R2R as to whether you should keep them. Personally, I think they are valuable as cuc and add diversity and interest.

Looks like a **** load of bristle worms. I do not care for them. They’re not detrimental to the tank at all but for some reason they make my skin crawl. I have dedicated many hours to removing them from the face of my tank. Totally up to you. I let the small ones live but once they pass 1” in length it’s go time.
