Biggest Water change?

[House of Laughter]

Still an interesting thread - and BTW - I have seen one fellow reefer leave frags out for a good amount of time to kill off any red bugs etc on the corals.

Just an observation, nothing empirical there - BUT, he has not had red bugs that I knew about

Now that's a hardcore means to prevent redbugs, ! :lol:

I exposed redbugs to air in my lab, they certainly didn't like it and jumped huge distances (relative to their size) to get back in the water. It creeped out all my co-workers! It looked like fleas jumping ship from the dog after a bath!

i dont no about huge water changes. doesnt it or wont it stress the crap out of the livestock in the tank. i see as small partial water changes is the better way to go. less stress on the guys.. .

Thanks Solbby... your advice as always is greatly appreciated... and that little story about the red bugs freaked me out! So far, I have kept my corals exposed to air for less than 1 minute...snails are the only exception but that is out of my control.

Jim,

Remember that time you brought me the tort to trade for the danae and I left it out for 15 min while we continued talking, you started freakin out...lol. It really is the best way to acclimate. Im glad youve seen others do it as well, so you dont think im loco :icon16:
