Great Thread Rich!

Guess who has red bugs?
















They will be gone tomorrow!

 

[capescuba]

Ah - but do you have a dog or know a vet??

hmmm, if I ever am able to keep sps alive I just realized my cousin's wife works in a vet hospital, they probably have access to this stuff, or atleast can write a prescription right?

Yup, she might be able to write the prescription.

Welcome to the club Rich. At least you don't have a sand bed to get messed up by the treatment. Mine should be gone after next treament.

You can usually get them from petmedstore.com.

Yikes, how'd the little buggers find their way into your tank?

Um....frag trades....store bought coral sometimes...

Those of us who are smart (ie: not me, the guy with 18 million flatworms) will use a quarantine tank so that if a "new" coral or fish has some "infestation" then you can treat the QT tank and observe the animal for further problems. Those of us who are not smart (ie: me) then you acclimate the coral in a bucket then stick it in your tank so that the infestation can take over your whole tank and make it hard to get rid of...or put other things at risk when you treat it!

My flatworm exit is still waiting to be doses as I lazily skip a few days (weeks) of "flatworm" vacuuming...thus allowing the plague to grow to epic proportions again...
