I shut down the old tank today, dipped all the corals in Amoxicillin, then iodine, then witch hazel to eliminate any potential bacterial pathogens that could have been causing my coral issues.
After dipping the corals, I threw all the rock into muriatic acid baths and then hit them with a power washer. It’s pretty crazy how a little acid and a power washer can make rock look brand new!
Then I rinsed all the sand until the water was running clear and spread it out the dry. Later I’ll sift through and pick out all the shells and dead branches.
I’m going to let the rock sit in fresh water for a little while and then throw them in the new display. All the fish are now in the frag tanks now, hopefully they can be patient until the DT is ready.
