We made a mistake about a year and half ago and we didn't dip an ORA valida tri-color multiple times.
As most of you know AEFW love valida. We've kept them under control but that's not good enough anymore. The numbers have grown and we know have more Acropora (Thanks Diesel)
. I want to eradicate them. I want to take all the acropora off the rocks and out of the DT. I will have LPS, zoas, palys, chalices, montipora, setosa, birdsnest, lepto, acans, favia, and stylos in the DT. I want to starve them out of the DT and dip all the SPS.
I know the ideal thing to do is a separate QT tank. I have a 10 gallon, a reefbreeders value LED fixture, (not the greatest but will do), a hob filter, a pump for flow and a small heater. So the set up is not a problem, the another tank syndrome is.
But will this work......put the effected acros in a section of the sump that is divided by baffles and filter sponges? There are no rocks just bare bottom. Keep them out of the DT for 6 weeks and dipping every 5 days or whatever is prescribed?
*****separate question*******
There were acros right by the infected ones that were not even touched, why?
Still 5 days later, nothing.
