The coral wash has got to make the skimmer go crazy. Think you will release the amounts within a week?

I think I may have numbers soon.
So for this morning there is not a single loss of fish, inverts or coral.
I can't see too much as the lights are just ramping up.
Actually the coral wash is in such a small amount compared to the melafix it doesn't contribute a lot to skimmer production.
Today is 24 hours for my new ratio so I am working on pulling it out and and wait for adverse effects or dinoflagellate production.

I have one acro that is in there from my main tank. I thought he was a goner
Well in my frag tank I was wrong!
He is alive couldn't tell you what it is but it has bright green polyps with more of a purple base.
Is it sensative? I have no idea but it is alive!

Why ME dip and not coral rx? What about tee tree oil?

With coral rx I don't know any of its ingredients with ME I do :)
Melafix is tea tree oil
Ahhh I thought the coral dip would have been tee tree oil. The coral rx smells like tee tree. What's in the me coral dip then? I haven't picked it up yet as I don't know how much I'll need.

I am patiently waiting. I hope @twilliard nails this one. Ive exhausted many types of cures to no luck.

Mine dont seem to be toxic. No dead snails. My zoas and xenia absolutely hate it and wont fully open however

I am getting closer guys!
The collected dinoflagellates on the filter are dead but I am finding trace amounts alive in the tank still.
I am working diligently on this. I know you all want to try but let me find the absolute ratio as what I am putting together is no joke.
Used wrong and this will destroy every form of life you have

Well if the dinos are dead, casualties of war

You said "most" will have the 3rd ingredient. I want to start the treatment asap so I want to make sure I have everything available. Can you please tell us? I think it would be very, very foolish for anyone to try to dose their tank without know what amounts are need per ingredient because, if improperly dosed, death and destruction to everything! Each of us is a steward to our tank(s) so you have no personal responsibility if people don't wait for dosages, methodology, etc.

It's bleach :cool:
I didn't say it because people think that in no matter the amount it is deadly to a tank.
People would think I am crazy lol
