Free - AEFW
 

Just discovered some AEFW and decided I don't want them. Free for the taking, apparently all you can carry. Sorry, no shipping.

:neutral:

Should this be under buy/sell section?:lol:

Possibly soon as a "shutting down" sale ? :)

This hobby is so much fun...:lol: setting it up and shutting it down and over and over again.

OMG, you have my sympathies, for sure. That is probably my worst fear, and not sure what I would do if it happened to me. And don't think you need any advice, as you probably know more than anybody here about this pest and what to do with it.

But if there are any lessons or advice you can give to the rest of us on how to prevent it, would sure like to hear that. Do you even know how this latest outbreak got started?

Best of luck, with whatever you decide. Just hope this isn't the reason/excuse for you to shut things down for a while. At worst you can always start a new tank.... Might be fun,... and a chance to try out some new ideas.

"Fun" just isn't a word I'm using a lot today -lol

Not sure how they got in, I have a couple of possibilities. I added a frag once that was in for a few days that had them before I got it out, and I added a colony that had them that was well treated, but maybe I missed some eggs. The colony I dipped last night had at least 50 on it, probably more. A second colony had half that. A third had 1.

Honestly, it seems that no matter how diligent you are, they just always make their way in somehow.

At this point I'm not sure how to proceed, thinking leave it and see what happens. There's no way I can remove and treat the volume of acros I have.

I have been toying with the idea of a downgrade, so just kicking ideas around for that today. Jon just posted a cube I'm giving thought to.

The logistics are tough though, a replacement tank needs to go where the existing tank is, more or less. A downgrade also means losing my favorite fish.

Not sure what to do.

Oh no Brad

Had to happen one day, I suppose.

Sad to here brad. I recently also picked up some at a bulk sale. I was seriously on the shut it down plane, but thought quitting is defeat. And while I have a small tank I was able to remove acros cut the dead spots off and dip and qt. With a big tank you kinda Sol for tgat route

You've talked about a cube in the past and while you do loose out on things like certain fish you gain in other areas. Like a single halide. Hehe

Oh crap!! Not sure what I'd do with so many mature colonies.
