So, I have had a couple of corals with AEFW in my display. Fortunately my display is young and all of my corals are basically still frags so I can easily pull them all out and scrape off what little bit of encrusting they have. My question comes with the quarantine process...
SO, my plan is to use my frag tank as the holding tank for all of my acros while leaving the display acro free. My frag tank shares the same sump as my display. I know that in an ideal situation it should be an entirely seperate set up, but unfortunately right now I don't have the funds to set up a second system. So, my plan is to leave the acros in there and every 5-7 days take out all of the frag racks in the frag tank and dip them. My thinking is that if I consistently keep this up for at least 6 weeks, there will be no way for the AEFW to establish themselves again and they'll be eradicated.
What is everyone's thoughts on this? And if you don't think it would work please explain. Thanks!
