Christy, have you been conducting more pest eradication with the sodium hydroxide?

No actually I've been incredibly lazy lately and haven't even done a waterchange in the past couple of weeks (or since I did the last NaOH testing). I do need to get my act together though. Some of the rocks were removable so I just yarded them out and removed them manually, a couple of other rocks were just coral bases so I popped the corals off of them, chucked the bases and re-epoxied them down. Others on non-removable rock have been plotting against me and reproducing at will. The plan is to go after the rest or a goodly portion of the rest of the majanos on Monday if I'm feeling up to it.

I did check the rocks that I treated a few weeks ago. One rock is completely clean and the other had one majano out of 4 come back (I think because I didn't get it quick enough before it sucked itself into the hole, either that or a new one grew in its place (it had several growing next to the ones I nailed but I was worried about the number of majanos I was nuking and the first time using the NaOH.)

Let me know how the second nuking goes. I'm getting annoyed at those little bastards myself, and may give it a try. Where do you get it from?
