184g basement 8ft reef

[Roskoreef]

writing this update is giving me chest pains...

last night did a dose of sentinel for red bugs... most pods in main tank dead, lots of small ones alive in frag tank, one acro crab dead, thats it...cant see any red bugs anymore, clam is fine... sentinel worked well, maybe too well...

So now i could care less about these red bugs that i just paid a shutload for some sentinel pills and they are the least of my acro troubles, it seems the sucking ftupid black/purple bugs are invincible and have also devestated others acro colonies, from r2r it starts halfway down:

these black bugs are eating all my acros, after the sentinel treatment, they flourished! most likely because of no competition on a food source, but with the exception of some new colonies, all my acros today are toast. all frags had bugs - garbage. in one night they exploded... all other corals and fish are great.

2 GALLONS of frags all infested this morning with rtn and a few colonies..



I have a bunch to frag and maybe recover if i got enough of them out but im pretty sure im dreaming..

What am i supposed to do with a decent size calcium reactor and zeovit and not many corals that like ulns, use it with super slowflow and changes stones half as much, or use half as much stones..

ugh..might just accept that im going to have a LPS dominant reef here soon..

anyways slowed down reactor and flow, might have some gyres for sale soon....
