Dictoya

[Andrew_bram]

So here is my question I know I can dip zoas in peroxide and it will kill dictoya but what can you dip an acan or chalice in. Greeneyedgirl is going to take her tank down and redo it but we don't want to reintroduce any of this crap in it. Suggestions. She has some really nice stuff we would prefer not to lose

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

Thought about dosing it in her tank?

 

[Andrew_bram]

Dose what peroxide in the tank

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

Dose what peroxide in the tank

Yup.

 

[Andrew_bram]

Will that hurt any sps or chalices. That doesn't sound like a good idea lol

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

I don't know the dosage but I have seen better reefers than us do it.

 

[Andrew_bram]

Key word better reefers then us. Lol.

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

Maybe gonzo can chime in?

I just looked it up on Google since I didn't know what it was. Don't tangs eat that type of algae?

 

[jda123]

Emerald crabs will crush it.

 

[scchase]

Naso genus tangs eat it as well

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

well, they are not going to put a naso in the nano. I think you should get a couple emeralds before tearing that down!

 

[Andrew_bram]

I didn't know emerald crabs are it plus1 will try that

 

[Andrew_bram]

She wants to take it down cause she doesn't like the black sand anymore.

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

pull the black sand. add white sand that is really well cleaned.

I dosed peroxide in my tank to cure Dino's. only thing that died was pods, and subsequently the mandarin. Every thing else was fine.

 

[Andrew_bram]

Ya we have a bag of live sand for her. We just want to figure out how to get this stuff off the acans and chalices. I want to steal a piece of them for big tank but don't want that algae.
