Sorry to hear.

Wow, these black bugs are really scary! I've been reading about them...

Sorry to hear that. I guess I was the one who pushed you to dip the coral see what bugs you had.

I don't know much about these black bugs, however they seem to be scary. Have you thought moving all the SPS to the FT and doing weekley dips? IT might be more efficient than dosing the DT.

Yup, i'm glad you did...otherwise i would have still been wondering... allthough those bugs came off in the dip, they definetly werent dead, and most seemed to burrow inside the skeleton. At the end of that r2r thread the guy finally killed them ( and 95% of the frags aswell) with a 400% bayer dip for 5 mins several times...

My FT is running off my DT atm so thats not gonna help i dont think, plus frag tank had the major infestation, dt is suffering slowly, but without the red bugs some acros may have a chance...

Yep, I had my FT coming off the DT and just separated it two weeks ago...I started a new cycle for this tank as I think its more beneficial to have two separate stable systems

Its going to be a pain dosing in both tanks (but got that covered already)
I'm going to read that thread you posted to understand these bugs a little better.
