Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
The pups are okay, infact they're doing very well. Teddy is fully recovered and Goldie is very close too. Soon they'll be able to run their hearts out together.
 
Everything alright Walker?
We're here for you!
Yeah, just life has been a bit rough these past few days.

Completely understand that. This time of year for me is confusing as a lot of good things come but also bad reminders. Hugs and like everyone else said we’re here if you need us.
 
Everyone doing OK?

Doing good here just working on the blanket I'm making. I want to make the next one for my sons grandma before she returns to Mexico next month but not sure if I will have time to finish this one and do another so I might give her this one and make another for myself.
 
are you on here jo jo? i am trying to order the KFC dip from kung fu corals and theyre out. but i cant find any contact info for them. how do you get a hold of them?
Hi, I've been bogged down at work and thus putting maximum effort to giveaways and correcting people who say wrasse names incorrectly.

KFC is in the San Diego area. I think the easiest way to get a hold of them is over social media.

What are you needing the KFC dip for? I see they're selling their KFC dip kit for $150. Wow. Are you treating corals with BJD or are you trying to prevent it?
 
:grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:oh ok. i dont do social media. just wanted to have the ingredients on hand for when i do need it
I keep ciprofloxacin on hand for when needed, and am actually running it right now. Hammer has been stinging the torch for weeks now, and my neglect ended up with the torch losing about 3 heads with BJD springing up in their place. Took out the torch yesterday and chopped off the BJD heads (unfortunately did a hack job and split the skeleton).

I do the full in tank cipro treatment when BJD comes around. I've had limited success with dips, although some success with BJD going away. I think the KFC dip is a great way to get your euphyllia as healthy as possible before it goes into the tank, but I'm not 100% on using it for treatment--prefer the 6 day in-tank cipro treatment:
