I did a massive overdose (1/2 a pill) waited 24 hours took them out and they where like new again. It's been a month and still no sign of the bugs. The corals where no worse for wear.
when I treated them I could actually see all those little red bastards floating on top of the water Dead. it was a lovely sight.
Any way you might want to give that a try first. instead of putting all your other inhabitants at risk.
Good luck,
Frank
I thought about just treating the affected corals but i have close to 20 pieces of acro in my tank. one piece is 6" wide 12" long and about 8" tall
treating just the pieces isnt feasible.
I am setting up another system just to q/t SPS I'll be wholesaling some too
