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?

I scrubbed right to bare rock. It wasn't bad and a toothbrush did the job fine. Probably better than a stiffer brush, as it flexes into the crevices. Took about 15 minutes to brush them all off.
So far, nothing has come back.

Oh cool thanks. I usually use a paring knife when my wifes not looking. I hate clove polyps! I'm glad this works as i've often thought of ripping my tank down and starting over due to them.

Yup, pretty happy with the tabs. Almost tore mine down too. Hate those f'ers!!
