Just out of curiosity.....the pinkish sps in the back.....why don't you cut off the branch's that are rtn'ing? ( or whatever the other word is)
So meowzer, I finally got enough brains to ask my LFS about what could be causing this problem with my Red Planet, and they went over a few things..... Not much substance behind their answer, but they had.... yada yada "red bugs" yada yada.... me... Then I had a friend come over and ask me why I was letting a rock crab live in my tank, as he saw a molt of one of the claws. So last night I was determind to catch that dang rock crab, he must be doing something to my colonies.... But I looked at one of my sps and noticed orange bugs crawling all over it, hundreds.... then it hit me... Yada yada "red bugs"....... I bet it's red bugs!!!! Quick google search later and I came up with red bugs and my cure of Intercepter. I went to my LFS to get it today, and they carried it...... COOL..... well maybe, as I know where and why I got them now.......
There is a question in here.... How often should I do the treatment? And I am seeing conflicting WC statments, some just state they run carbon, some say carbon and WC? If I can just run carbon, it would save me money on the cost of WC's. I have a cleaner shrimp who will be housed in my 24g for the treatment, that I don't want to kill, as they are 24 bucks a pop here...... So poney up the dough for the WC's?
