I started with a much stronger treatment that actually does seem to be working, but I'm so paranoid that its going to take forever. I am tracking it with photos though. Someone else recommended to me injecting straight white vinegar into them.
So every three to four days I've been injecting patches with maximum 2x0.5ml needles of white vinegar. It has actually been working so far and I've been tracking the progress with photos. I'm going to beat the majanos! I'm hoping to get the numbers down considerably this way. I find it to be about 10x as effective as lemon juice, kalk water, or any other product on the market designed for majanos. Plus its cheap!
Those butterflies look stunning though Tony. The photos are great!

The urchin has really been attracted to my green digi lately and has made multiple frags that I need to re-home asap.
Yesterday we set the tank's lighting up on my two new PC4s (Powerbars for the Reef Keeper Elite). Its worked out well so far. I've also started to cut back the MHs run time from 9.5 hours a day to 7.5. I'd eventually like it to be 7 or 6.5 but the tank will tell me if its too little or not.
I tried once again to set up the email notifications on the RKE-NET module, and I still get errors. I emailed Digital Aquatics once again for help. Given its a holiday week for many people I don't really expect a response or resolution to this before the new year.
Other then the majano campaign the tank is just on autopilot. We did some regular maintenance yesterday; cleaning out strainers, traps, and the sump. The reflectors also got a much needed wipe down. I have fresh saltwater mixing and heating right now for a water change tonight.
With these new powerbars we now have the option of completely changing around our control center, which Kevin has plans to work on this week. All these timers are going to go up for sale, hopefully to be re-homed to someone else who can get some good use out of them.
