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!
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.
Cracking informative vid Andy, pretty sure the tank will be back to its best soon 👍
Great information sorry to hear the recent setbacks.
Thanks man! I'll defeat these buggers one way or another
Interesting video mate! Hopefully you win the battle in the future! 🤞

A bunch of small wrasses all introduced at same time? Now and fast.
Thanks for the video. How much more forgiving than Acropora do you find the easier SPS such as Stylophora and Pocillopora?

So discouraging. Don't give up.👍

very expensive to keep using it
@@TwoScottishReefers very expensive not to. I would rather spend the money then loose money on corals
@@6jdhd dont let them get in to the tank in the first place. I have totally eliminated them.
@@TwoScottishReefers I hear you but also long as I been doing this you can dip al you want but there is always one that gets in.

Research potassium for AEFW.
I have, tried spraying down with potassium still never wiped them out
It Potassium chloride its used for water softening softening it kills acro eating flatworms. It actually disintegrates them
Sixline. Problem solved
If only it was that easy. I already have two wrasse in the tank.
@@andycx2 no sixline though I bet? Not all wrasse are very good at keeping numbers down.
