What should I do? Tank troubles.

[Juka087]

Hey guys.

So i have a nuvo 25 that has been up since October. Its only goal is to grow zoanthids. Within it is 1 frag rack, and 1 mp10. The lighting is t5s with a reef brite strip. The filter media is seachem matrix.

Basically I managed to acquire digitate hydroids, and they are not going away. I have not fed the tank reef roids in months, and the two clownfish in it i feed every other day with a small amount of pellets.

The problem is the hydroids attach to frag plugs, and if i sell someone a coral. Well they are going to get hydroids. The frags it attaches to the zoas dont seem to grow. Some do some dont. I cant feed the tank so nutrients are low.

Despite all this i have some rare interesting pieces growing. Hallucinations,grim reapers,hephaestus, and solar circus. Expensive stuff.

I dont want to just throw it all away. But i dont want to continue to buy corals that may very well die or become infected as well. I really have no idea what to do. I am at a crossroads.

What would you do?

Maybe

Eliminating Blue Clove Polyps with Fenbendazole

A few years ago, I purchased a rock that had some beautiful Space Monster zoas on it. It also had some Blue Clove Polyp on it as well. I saw the BCP, I knew it was there, I really didn't worry about it at all because I had no idea what it could become. Fast forward....its now everywhere. Its...

Scrape them off outside of tank at the base

Yes. See the problem is it would seem that it doesnt work.

They are also in the tank and the overflows. Randomly all over. It would be great if the fenbendazole worked, but apparently it doesnt.

Starving them is best method but means you cannot feed the tank for several days. They love brine shrimp mainly

Right. I currently only feed the tank pellets every other day. For the 2 clownfish in the tank.
