Sorry for the delayed update. So I have done 8 total dips. The first dip was the day I cut everything down. I had all corals on racks on the front glass and dipped them each week, every 7 days. I never saw a worm after the first dip... Which is scary.So how are things going now?
After last week's dip I examined the dip tank as best as I could and didn't see anything. So I started to remount corals this weekend to the rocks.
I was feeling really good and excited yesterday... Then time and thoughts got to me today. What if I missed a small encrusted part of acro on the rocks, what If 1-3 worms have been living off this patch. Could they live off the coral skeleton foundation, that is left after the coral is killed off and scrapped? Even though I blasted the rocks every couple of weeks and used a brush at times as well this doubt will not go away.
None of the acro have any bite marks, now just dealing with white bugs, something I didn't notice before. Maybe the aefw keep white bugs in check?
The corals have recovered and color, pe and growth is good. It was cool to see how much growth I had while these sat on a frag rack.
Time will tell I guess, but the wind has definitely been taken out of my sale with the worry and doubt in my mind that I missed something. Part of me wishes I never glued anything back and waited longer. Then to make matters worst I read more threads today's, older ones but threads stated 3-6 months is needed to wait. Some people saying the worms can live 4 weeks with no food and may eggs up to that time. Meaning I could have eggs hatching now somewhere. I don't know maybe I got into my head to much.
