Ok i don't have any of those fish so that won't be a problem!

Next weekend I'll might do a 24h treatment, won't it matter that the skimmer doesn't do it's job for so long?

You’ll be fine not running your skimmer for a couple days. I rarely run mine at all and my sps love it

A dip in milbemax you mean? The other dips i have is coralrx

Yes

Ok nice, I got this oversized skimmer currently and thinking of downgrading because I'm not sure if my sps likes it. Im also adding 6 evansi anthias soon for bio load but now I'm goin off topic

All good on adding bio load. Corals love that. Heck, I've been told Charlie has his upstairs toilets tied into his sump for more bio load although I may have made that story up myself.

Haha that's a good idea with all these environment rules and stuff, ato and bio load all in one!

But be sure to flush the toilet with Rodi water, You don't want strange substances entering the aquarium

Not only did you get the joke, you took it further. Toilet RODI. Perfect.

Do take a look at some of his tenuis threads when you can. Inspirational stuff. Nobody gets polyp extension like that.

Looks awesome! I also gave him a follow on instagram! Hope my tenuis will develop like that

This is the acro frag now, the colony where it came from already shows some polyp and the tips are coloring up again!!

Im in a similar boat as you just discovered that I have some form or white or black bugs!
I can get hold of milbemax which as you pointed is a mix of melbacym oxime & praziquantel. My worry is praziquantel as from what I understand interceptor that's available in the US is pure melbacym oxime. How is praziquantel going to affect the system?

Did you end up doing a full tank treatment? What kind of dose did you use?
You mentioned you did it for 12hrs. How did the treatment go? Did you successfully kill the bugs?

Thanks in advance

Praziquantel also sometimes get used in tank for internal parasites so i won't worry about that, just do a waterchange and run carbon. Today is my last treatment but after the first time all the bugs were already gone. First time 12h second time 24h and this time I will treat for around 20-24h depends on my weekend schedule

Corals and fish are happy, only got better after the first treatment. Polyps are back

That's good to hear.
So as I understand you did a full tank treatment!?
What was the dosage?
What kind of corals do you have your tank if you don't mind me asking is it only sps or lps and mashrooms as well? Did the treatment have any effect on your mushrooms or any other coral? As I am a little worried about that

 

[dedragon]

@Sophisticated Reefer
anymore updates? Im also looking to find the exact dosage on these

I know that I have 1 red mushroom somewhere behind the reef wich came of a plug way ago and I think it's still there but I can't say for sure. Lps and sps are just doing it's thing and the affected Acros are regaining PE and color.

Fabulous thanks for the update! I am pleased to know that everything is doing well.
You would help with the dosage amount I got some milbax & don't really sure how much to dose.

Here's another video, you can clearly see one walk

Yes did you figure out what these are, I know coralrx does not kill them or make them detach.

@Sophisticated Reefer
Im just trying to clarify for dosage.
Did you use regular dosage once a week for 3 weeks
Or
Did you use 3x dosage once a week for 3 weeks.

How big is your tank?

 

[madlos123]

40 gallon. I got the yellow box or 11 mg. 3 of them. Either i cut one pill and dose 1/3 a pill (regular dose) once a week for 3 weeks or do 1 pill (3x dose) once a week for 3 weeks.
