Dr. G's Coral Dip (includes same active ingredient as Intercepter) for Red Bugs. I'm planning my first reef tank and waited until I could secure this. Plus Bayer. Commercial facilities like TG have so much incoming coral that things are tough. In theory, home tanks should easily be able to prevent infection.

You have to add calcium? Here in the American southwest there is high calcium content in groundwater. A possible reclamation in air tight confines with dehumidifiers recharging back to aquifers and maybe large enough as a supplemental education for school field trips? Then crush and dispose of dead coral to landfills?

My goodness. I’m super excited after watching your video. I just purchased my first set of SPS and was needing some advice on what the gph water flow turn over needed. What kinda sump and media do they like best. And really needed ASAP is what brand or recommended lights, maybe some that I can link to an app and adjust light spectrums if needed. And placement of the acropolis I bought. Wish I would of bought from you first but just found your channel. Here’s what I purchased. Did you say calcium at 1425 ppm Alkalinity at 8-9 dKH Magnesium?

So cool I'm learning about coral s. I bought old coral s vintage coral from the ocean . I see change s starting to happing some things u said about feeding my old dead white coral s blue light s on. There all pink starting to look fuzzy I noticed growth. U showed coral s feeding I have some are doing this. This the 2 batch of coral s I bought the set no response. This set is old wild coral s. Have the same coral s u was talking about and so others would be awesome if they would come back alive. Some people say no once it dead it's dead I have to disagree I been working on this project for years. Old wild coral s seem to have a better response. Than sps coral s the stuff u buy from the store. Some old timer said ya it would come back if everything is right. So do you think I'm crazy or do think it is coming back. More I leave the Blue light's on more and more pink corals get and fuzzy growth has not been a week yet seeing change s.
