Fluke Tabs added

[MMAX]

19 hours into treatment and the blue cloves are looking like a sorry bunch. The tabs are also working wonders on a whole pile of hydroids I had in there. So far so good for the coral banded shrimp--alive and well.

Well she's pretty much a done deal. Just over 48hrs and the cloves appear to be dead. Going to give it overnight, tomorrow I'll brush off all the carcasses, 20gal water change and add carbon. Confirmed casualties so far...1 Trochus snail. The coral banded shrimp has disappeared. Maybe he just went into hiding again or maybe he's dead, don't know. No bodies anyways.

I never found my cleaner shrimps. Think I saw a leg float by, that's about it.

And I'd personally do much more than 20g change. I did 50g three times over the week, which probably wasn't enough..

Yeah I know. Right after this 20 goes in I have another batch of 20 RO ready to mix, heat and dump. I was thinking probably 3-4 batches of 20 gal over the next few days.

Just thought i'd keep this thread going. I added 2 fluke tabs I got from a fellow canreefer last night at 10:00 after catching my shrimps and putting in another tank. My tank is infested with clove polyps and today is the first time I have never seen them open. I'm hoping they are all dead and gone after 4 days.

Bill, with mine, dead yes, gone no. I had to brush them all off with a toothbrush. Not fun.

Oh really? Well crap. They're in every nook and cranny. I'll wait for day 4 and scrub them with a denture brush. It's way stiffer than a toothbrush. So they've never returned? And is it necessary to scrub off the matting or does it eventually disappear?
