AEFW is there a %100 way to be rid of them?
A year ago I came down with AEFW. Immediately I pulled all the acros and put them in QT. I dipped weekly for a month in a bit over reccomended strength TMPCC. After a month there was no sign and I reintroduced the corals to my main tank. I saw no sign of AEFW for nearly a year. Over that time I introduced NOTHING to my tank.
I am willing to give it one more shot. What should I do to be rid of these once and for all? Thanks, -Ken |

Oh, not you Kroe. Umm, were working on it but not %100 fool proof yet. There are some new methods out there.

Despite the negative critics, I suggested freshwater dips back in the day and have used them ever since without killing a single acro. Bring RO water to tank temp, dip coral for 50 secs (must be exact) and then shake in water the last 10. Works great...flatworms turn a white color and fall off. If abused, im sure it can kill acro, but it hasn't failed me yet and I have dipped a ton of them.

Im kinda liking the studies on the potassium permaganate. Last check, its working on the eggs too and with little effect to the coral if done right.
