Another big raffle item for the holiday party!

Another livestock raffle for the Xmas party on the 10th. Thanks for the generous donation of frogspawn frags @don_chuwish!

Woo-hoo, better start fragging @coyote!

I treat with general cure and do 40 days in copper. I do two weeks observation after that.

Lots of room for growth!

Corals look great! Full tank shot, please! 😃

It is, but it is also easy on the corals when you do it like I describe. I think it is less risky than using cipro as a dip, as cipro dips seem to be a little harsher in my experience.

Yes, 2 grams per gallon of tank water for 4-6 hrs with heavy aeration for the dip. I do it 3 times with a day in between each treatment.

Hi Bill: Send me a message via Facebook if you need a quicker response. If possible, I would recommend dipping these corals in a bath of OA or dipping them in addition to the whole tank treatment. The direct dip is more effective at stopping the STN. I recently saved most of my favorite Oregon Tort colony with dips. Good luck! Andy

Earmuff, Orange fin, Mystery, and Checkerboard wrasses. They have added lots of movement to the tank, and they are keeping the sand bed well sifted.

Raffle Prize #3: Ecotech Mp40

Many thanks to @The ReefBox for a killer collection of wrasses for the reef. They were the missing piece. I'm loving this combination of fish and corals.
