Well, it's happened to me. Unfortunately, there are just too many of us in the middle TN area that have had this problem. I have dipped every Acro I have ever gotten, but that doesnt mean I killed any eggs that may have been on one. I began to notice a few signs of something just not right a couple of weeks before I hosted the meeting a few weeks ago. I began racking my brain of what I had done differently, and there was all kinds of things. Added a fuge, changed my bulb combo, had a slight swing here and there etc. But the last thing I thought was AEFW. When I finally saw them, it's super easy to see the bite marks, but I need a magnifying glass to really see the eggs.
So I have been super busy, but wanted to set up a QT for dipping the corals over the next 2 months. I have already dipped all the acros that I could easily pop off, and place on a frag rack. I am using Bayer Insecticide for my dipping. 5-6ml per cup of saltwater, and heavy flow and blasting for 10 minutes. Here is what I use and the result of my first round of dipping. Crazy amounts of flatworms!
