It's been about a month since I first medicated...all I have to say is THANK-YOU Dustin!!!!!!!!!!! I have had the RB from day one of keeping sps so I really had no idea what the overall effects on the acros were because how the sps looked was how they appeared from day one in my tank...I always...

When I used the medication I just tried my best to estimate the actual water volume...I am sure I was not 100% accurate but close enough. I didn't have to weigh the med as I just added 1 pill for my estimated 400g water volume. Just follow the .05g/20g rule and you should be fine, just try to...

Minh: I have 2 S. hadonni and 1 huge rbta and they were both completely unaffected by the medication. I completed my third treatment on Thursday. I only did a 10% waterchange after. Everything in the tank looks great! I have not seen even 1 red bug since the first treatment. I have also...

I have 28 clams in my system (maximas, croceas and squamosas) and there was zero effect on them...

I recently bought an LPS coral from the LFS and I quarantined it for 7 hours in the medication. I do this with anything new that I put in the tank now regardless of what type of coral it is. Anyhow, the coral had quite a few flatworms on it, but they were unaffected by the treatment. I had to...

I am seeing some amazing changes now...I have had the bugs since the beginning of keeping sps, so to me how the acros looked in my tank was what I always thought was normal...well, I am seeing polyp extension like I have never experienced before. I am also seeing certain corals beginning to...

I have completed two doses...the second dose I only performed a 10% waterchange and left the med in for almost 8 hours, which were the only factors that differed from the first treatment... I have had these the red bugs in my system for almost 2 years and am pretty good at finding them after...

What kind of pod life are you guys still seeing in your refugiums/sump? -especially those of you who have dosed the medication twice...was it a complete wipeout of all pods/ mysis or are there still some alive? I am doing my second treatment tomorrow, but still notice some pods in my...

The only change I have seen today is increased acro polyp extension. No sign of any red bugs at all...

Tank specifics: 360 g mixed reef (mainly sps, many lps, 30 clams, 2 hadonni anenomes, 1 Rbta, ricordea, zoanthids, snails, various fish), I don't have any ornamental shrimp or hermits, I have 2 small acro crabs, but I cannot seem to locate which coral head they are residing in at present 3-4 "...

I will be posting my final results in another 4 hours when the test is finished... also to the above post: I have 2 hadonni anemones and a RBTA, so far they look completely fine :)

I had a powder brown for 3 years until my tank back-siphoned (due to lack of coralline cleaning on the return) when a gfci blew out. What a nightmare, I lost way more than just the powder brown. Its a long story... anyhow, I had no problems with him, so when things stabilized once again I...

My goodness, I have only had this ritteri anemone for about 1.5 months and he has grown from 1 foot to 1.5 feet wide!! Is this how fast he will grow from now on?? Is this normal? I feed it about 4 times a week alternating between vit. soaked silversides (about an inch worth) and formula 2 (same...

I am just curious as to the effects of going from 250 watts to 400 watt MH over my 180 g tank. Do I have to make a choice whether I just want only sps and clams vs. a mixed tank (sps, clams, softies, lps)? Do the softies and shrooms shrivel up under 400 watts of light? (I notice that I...

I bought a H. magnifica about 2 weeks ago. Yes, he looked unhappy in the dealers tank (NO lighting etc.). I decided I had space for him and that my tank was maybe better for him than some might have been...He has situated himself on the topmost rock (6" from water surface) under my 250 watt MH...
