Watery, smells of herbs, medium brown color, can't see through liquid. For lack of better terms I'm gonna say it has a lot of pulp lol.
Shake it hard, shake it longer than expected.

haha I'm way ahead of you brother. I'm just waiting til next Monday now because I need a new ph probe to monitor my tank during the treatment.I was totally going to text you this thread!
If you are experimenting to see if this new product truly works, wouldn't it be better just to use the new UWC product and halt all other dips? That way you could determine the true effectiveness of this new product...So week 1 update.
It seemed to have killed off a few -- But it definitely didn't kill them all off. This is after two doses, you can see AEFW of all sizes from large to micro.
My infestation is pretty light, and only on half my corals if that. I had what I would consider a false positive, as I've had a few corals completely clean and clear of AEFW on follow up dips.. Then I decided I should use a flashlight to see the corals in brown, which makes bites way more evident. After some searching I found the most bit up coral and dipped it. Lots of AEFW on that particular piece, after having zero on the 3-4 which I've test dipped after the first and second dose.
According to the product, there should have been zero alive by now. All that could be alive are freshly hatched larva less than a day old.
At this point I'm wondering if I continue the treatment, or continue mass dipping in melafix which knocked off the AEFW in literally seconds.
Pictures!

Don't they call for a 21 day treatment? I understand that the recommendation is based on the time for eggs to hatch, but wouldn't it be best to complete the 21 days and then make your conclusions?
Correct. Because those surviving aefw can now lay eggs and start the 21+ day timer over again by laying eggs. (I have seen aefw eggs take 24 days to hatch)Nope. Because if there's anything alive, it didn't do what it was supposed to do. If they can survive two large doses two days apart, a single dose once a week won't make a difference.
It seems pretty cut and dry. If they're supposed to die within 24 hours and don't, then the product isn't going to disrupt their breeding cycle whatsoever, and will not stop anything.

NICE!!!
Glad to see some advancement in the pest part of the hobby, How well it works is to be determined along with how safe it is in a persons tank.
The reality of this is that every tank is different and most folks love to cut corners on most things in life due to Laziness or Flat out impatient attitudes / lifestyles so this will factor into some of the reviews.
I am in no way claiming the product will or will not work as advertised and I am looking forward to the future with testing in actual home reef tanks and testimony from users of this product.
Now on to the new way of living life... I like to call it the Burger King Generation
Your way - Right Away... ;Facepalm
It’s called process improvement; contrary to old man thinking, newer generations do get smarter by learning from mistakes and making things better. It’s easy to get the perception that people want things faster when the ultimate goal is to always improve. Only an idiot would think that’s a bad thing.
As for dealing with AEFW, those who have large encrusted colonies cant just remove and dip. You’re going to cause so much havoc on an established reef that you’re going to destroy it ripping the rocks out and if you don’t you’re bound to miss eggs. It’s almost impossible to get every egg out of a 300+ gallon system without basically starting over.
It’s easy to be a blowhard and say to remove all frags when you’re rocking a newer build with frags still sitting on plugs. Once encrusted colonies are the majority you’re stuck with what you got.
