    We all know AEFW is every SPS reefers worst nightmare, but hanks to Bill you need not worry anymore!

    Had the tank been aefw free since the potassium treatment? Love to hear about a update. I'm about to treat with this method in a couple of days.

    Very Interesting! Can we get clarification on some items. Bill mentions something about 1500ppm potassium chloride and the person in China using 2 KG. How does someone measure that value of 1500ppm if dosed directly into a tank? If we where to remove the water, spray with 2g/1 L (I'm assuming this is tank water mixed with Potassium chloride) and then refill the tank, then bubble code the tank... I'm assuming you would run carbon afterwards to remove the potassium? I'm assuming the same water goes back into the tank so not to shock the corals with any further differences in PH, salinity, temp, etc..

    Very cool to hear a totally new method to treat AEFW. Now, if only there's a solution for severe infestation of Vermetid snails!

    I'm super interested in this treatment. What I don't understand is at 3:10 in the video he said the guy added 2 grams to the tank. How is adding 2 grams directly to the tank any different than spraying the corals with a spray bottle mixed with 2 grams??? . Once you put the water back in the potassium chloride is still in the tank??????

  • @michelleconabere7063
    @michelleconabere7063 4 года назад +2

    Am I correct in saying that you didn't remove your fish? So you sprayed the solution with the spray bottle under the water. I apologise if it sounds stupid but I have only been in the hobby 12months. I have not seen a flat worm so now I will be researching what to look for. Thanks for the information🐟🐠🦀

But if I do ever get them I will definitely try this... don't know what I would do if I have deepwater acros on the bottom.
