    I feel ya mate, My doser has blocked twice in the last 6 months and rtn has set in fast, Thing is it takes 6 months to get the acros back to prime condition after a large swing. So much work keeping acro but we still do it!

    Thanks for the video. How much more forgiving than Acropora do you find the easier SPS such as Stylophora and Pocillopora?

    • @TwoScottishReefers
      @TwoScottishReefers  3 года назад +1

      Much more forgiving, if you can grow LPS then you can grow these with ease. I had so much Stylophora and Pocillopora I couldn't give them away. I had to throw them in the bin.

    Flatworm stop will only work if your tank is not infected with massive flat worns. It will help coral that have not been eaten bye flatworms but the one that have been eaten on for a while will not work. After dipping every coral . Redsea dipx kill acro eatting flatworms and red bug. But if you continue to use flatworm stop it will prevent in the future ever having a out break.

      @@6jdhd you have to remove all frag plugs and bases. And dip with something guaranteed to kill them like potassium chloride or reef primer. I don't trust any other dips to be 100% effective.

      It Potassium chloride its used for water softening softening it kills acro eating flatworms. It actually disintegrates them
