cool. It is very powerful. At about 40% power it has killed 2 fish of mine due to the suction power.

Yap, it is a damm powerful wavemaker , i only run like 50% of the max flow. The main reason why i decide to have two vortech is in order to have the master and slave function like the below video.

Recently i found out that one of my wild SPS begin to STN from below and in order to try saving it, i have to frag the colony up . But strangely it doesn't help, and the few balance frags keeping turning white, and that it when upon close examination i discover various biting mark on the SPS itself. Suspected AEFW infection although i cant see with physical eye inspection of any, so i dip the frags with a few drop of Iodine lugol solution , and that is when pink flat pcs of worm being to appear ..

The SPS frag with various bite mark .

Small tiny flat worm left on the tray after the iodine dip.

My new 3 part dipping process for all newly purchase corals .

Pail 1 - Coral RX ( This is effective in removal of nudi, worm but not AEFW that i experience )

Pail 2- Bayer compete ( whatever the first dip doesnt kill, this should work )

Pail 3 ( White ) - Clean tank water to clean the coral before adding into the main tank and those pest that die off from the first two dip should begin to fall off at this stage.

With a help of Daiso $2.00 turkey blaster to "Blast " those pest off !!

Some of the pest that come dropping off die after the dip.

The pro of using this method, i would say it should remove 80% or 100% of the pest including hairy crab but the cons of it, it also remove the " Good Acro carb" that came along with the SPS.

OMG, sps number 1 killer. Quick get some blue velvet slugs n melanurus from henry.

I am experimenting with the camel shrimps cleaning station now, quite positive. You might want to try it on your new sps before addition to main tank. Maybe start a blue velvet slug cleaning station?

Cheers,

James

Yes i got two pcs of the blue velvet slugs from last ML shipment as well but one of it DOA on the second day when it got suck into my wavemaker :(

i suspect that Blue velvet slug do not eat all types of flat worm as i try placing one flatworm in front of it during acclimatizing and it simply just ignore it :drunk2:

Some update of photos of the tank . It has been amazing to witness the changes in color for some of the SPS in my tank watching it turning from a ugly ducking to a beauty :P which i believe is what the ultimate aim of all SPS keeper is aiming for.

Nice shape Monti from GO recent shipment. The other advantage of having a reef backdrop is that i can have plenty of space to glue my coral even on the wall lolz. ..

Two of the refugium running on AI Sol now for about 12 hour a day, and the frag tank is running on 4 X Ati T5 tube. The advantages of having the frag / QT tank running in T5 vs the main tank runing in Full LEDs, i can always check and compare the color of the corals especially SPS which one will make the coral look better :drunk2:
