Yea they still
Make them. And some are good for infection and cleaning.

I wish I had a handy link for you in a good process for dips.

Naturally the best is dip and qt.
No dip kills eggs.
If i could afford the space for a qt i would.. But if i did set it up id kinda be scared it may turn into a second tank if i even could have one... But wheres a sight i can buy the dips reffered from.. Would Bulk reef supply have it?

It's a nudibranch. A soft coral eating one.
Almost two inches long too.
Very bad to have in the tank im told.

Bwahahahaha ha!

I didn't have any of the foods it eats though.
And science still was not 100% Sure what in fact it eats.
It passed away after a few months.

Sorry for the spam guys but it looks like my hammer may recover more and more heads keep coming out.
But stupid question whats the purpose of a frag rack? I see them in many reef tanks but no one goes into why they have them in the videos..

Yea. Some folks do that for extra space to grow out corals and sometimes sell them. I've never owned one.

Okay if bulk reef has it ill get it. Personally i dont like amazin to much all there stuff you get may be cheap but seems less then par of what you want it to be.. But im also talking about objects and such not chemicals.

I thought it was kinda like a somewhat kind of quarantine in a display but guess i was wrong...
Yea the qt, fish disease aside) allows time for eggs to hatch or bad guys to emerge. And also to re dip for algaes as well.
As much as folks talk up bayaer. It does not kill algae and a lot of other stuff.

Thats what i thought that rack was for to keep the frag elevated and away from everything in close veiw to monitor for pests and such till safe to find a place for it.

Yea don't sweat the swimmers too much. Many don't survive many are basicly larval stages of some animals. A medusal hydroid.
It may indicate a a hydroid colony is in the tank.

No pests do what the want. Having them up on a shelf won't stop them.

I had some flat worms ( most likely the acropora type, not the red planaria) in my system about two years ago, even though i dip everything with revive before placing in my DT, but my Halichoeres chrysus (yellow wrasse) turned "nuclear" on them. Haven't seen one in over a year!

If the.frag is cheap and is affected with acro flatworm for sure and you dont have anything to dip then i would say just throw it away. Not worth the headache (maybe it might be a hard thing to do for some people).
I have been doing sps for a while and have had flatworms afew times. Until you have problem otherwise it would be.very difficult to take suggestion or advices like this....but trust me you dont want it in your tank
