Default Killing GSP

Kein, you wanted to know how I killed GSP (and severely damaged my leather toadstool)?
I made a bath for my new fish I thought I saw ich on. I used dechlorinated water (no salt), pH bablanced to match the tank (baking soda). To that I added methylene blue and formalin.

Some of my corals were looking like they were being attacked by something...and so I added Lugols to the water before adding the GSP and a small leather toadstool. About 5 min later I remembered what else I had in the water and put it all in a tank water bath!

The toadstool died down a bit but is now SLOWLY coming back, the GSP is long gone.

Not sure multitasking and my summer of crazy shift work were a good combo!

There you go.. how to kill softies. My guess is it was the formalin that was the biggest nail in its coffin
