WILL THIS REEF DIP HELP OR MAKE A DIFFERENCE

[THE REEF WHISPER]

I have have Hammer corals and frog spawn corals they don't seem to be doing good and there's some kind of like hair white film on the skeleton which is irritating the polyp and are used too little fishy revise. But that doesn't seem to do the job for regular dipping. It does really good but for like bacterial I don't think it's really doing anything. I wanted to use this but I don't know if it's okay to use if it will really make a difference cuz my corals kind of look upset and they were doing fine but I don't know. I think that bacterial disease. I think that's what it is is making it act weird This should

Help sick corals right?

Do you have some pictures of the coral under white light? May help identify what you're dealing with.

I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to try to trade these in or get money for them. Probably try to sell them cuz they're still in pretty good condition because just LPS in general even if favias just give me hard times I tried everything. I literally take care of my tank 24/7. I'm in high school and I try the best that I can to make this tank work. I tried about 2 years. My tank was doing amazing and then all the sudden it just went downhill with the LPS I was thinking I could just do like my Evo of kind of mushroom/ very high-end mushrooms and then I can try to trade and sell those and let them propagate that I have so many that I could just sell them frag sell and frag them And so on

I just thought this could open so many doors cuz I know some tanks just can't do well with LPS and I tried 2 years with LPS and nothing seems to work. They all get sick. I put them in a hospital tank they start to get better. I put it in back in my tank and they do good but they just look unhappy. I just don't think it's the fit for my tank but I have like some mushrooms. My mushroom ready made like two babies in one month and I threw one in like a dirty tank and it grew huge in less than 2 weeks. It grew like an inch and a half faster than the one in my 13 gallon Evo. I have a little 2 gallon that I threw it in. Never did a water change set up for 2 years. Grew instantly. Probably just going to start trading stuff in and getting high-end mushrooms and go from there. Just so you know, if anyone sees this post I'm going to be selling and trading high and mushrooms high-end and probably some very premium if I get far in the mushrooms please keep a lookout for any post. I'm happy to do any trades, anything. I really just mostly want mushrooms like even if it's like $80 off of like what I'm selling it for and I have a ton. I'm willing to do that trade. Even if your mushroom isn't really as high-end as mine. I don't care. I'm going to do that trade with you. I don't care really how high-end mushrooms are. If it looks nice I'll take it. I'm not really into how much it really cost. I'm interested in making everybody feel like they could be part of this hobby. I'm interested in letting other kids my age into this hobby It's probably going to take a while for the mushrooms to grow at least, but if you guys want a list of high-end mushrooms for me to purchase so I can grow them out and give you a very good deal I promise you that I'm not some scammer. I want to let everybody that thinks the hobby is so expensive and just nice people. Even if that's what I get out of trading something, it's worth every second of this hobby. It's truly my pleasure to be in this hobby with all these nice people. Please let me know if you guys want me to make a list of like high-end mushrooms that you want. I can purchase them, let them grow out and give you really good deals. Thank you For everybody who sees this

Let's take a step back.

Yes - if you hare having issues keeping LPS, then I would get those hammers back to the LFS as fast as possible to see if they can be saved. Credit or not, there is no use letting them die.

Can you tell as more about your tank(s).
How old?
Water parameters?
Lighting?
Dosing?
Fish?
Etc.

There are a few different types of "reef dip". Some have essential oils, others iodine and some pesticide or herbicide. None of them are likely going to help the LPS in this case. They are all unhappy and that likely points to water parameters or something environmental.

LPS are not "hard" to keep most of the time, but they will quickly struggle if things are not right.
Most mushroom and leather corals are much more forgiving.

 

[reefmaster70]

we can't help you if you don't give us your water chemistry info, what lighting you have, Par levels, etc. There could be a number of things in your display tank that make Euphyllia unhappy. Just throwing in the towel won't help you or anyone else that might get them from you without knowing more about your tank.

 

[rayadog]

How long have they been unhappy? Or in the tank?

I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to try to trade these in or get money for them. Probably try to sell them cuz they're still in pretty good condition

they are not in good condition. you can try to get some money back on them but your lfs wont likely give you any

 

[19Mateo83]

Get that Vermited off that one. The red coil tube thing on the base on the right one in the first picture. It will irritate it.

zoas and mushrooms are a great way to start while you learn more about the hobby and trading and selling is great. most people nowadays want bubbled/bounce shrooms but jawbreakers and eclectus still get good money. look into some coral auctions and live sales because you can get great deals on them. also zoas would probably do well in your tanks as well if you can handle mushrooms
a little dirtier the better for them (higher nutrients) and just learn not to mess with the tank too much. i find monitoring nitrate, phosphate, salinity, temp, alk, and calc to be the most important. you dont need to do a full range of testing all the time esp once you get it dialed in

 

[THE REEF WHISPER]

My levels are

Calcium (Ca): 470 ppm
Magnesium (Mg): 1550 ppm
Alkalinity (KH): 11 dKH
pH: 8.0
Nitrate (NO3): 5 ppm
Nitrite (NO2): 0 ppm
Ammonia (NH3): 0 ppm
Salinity: 1.027 SG (recently crept up from your normal 1.026 SG)

I use the nicrew 65w reef light Nava

Phosphate are 0
