Hey Reefgrrl, another super awesome video, they are always educational and if anyone has problems like those featured in this one it's very rewarding and comforting knowing your methods work for a beginner reefer to even the older hands like you and me. Patience is always key with marine aquariums because nothing just happens overnight. Thank you again for sharing 😀👍🏻

Great pointers and overview. You cannot overstate the importance of developing observational skills in this hobby! Also, what most of us would consider to be pests are often side effects of having healthy, flourishing systems, The key is to keep parameters in check, remove the pests as they appear and keep observing.

Even now, I occasionally see one or two in my new tank. If they’re on a loose rock that I can take out of the tank, I do just that and remove them. If I can’t get the rock out, I try and glue them shut and if all else fails, I get my pointy curved tweezers out and scrape them off. They don’t seem to be spreading but I do still see a couple now and then. What type of crabs are you going to use to get them?

A lot of grest information in removing pests, definitely learned a few tricks that I'll be trying as we are now preparing our rock and coral for their transition from the 40 to the 125. It's going to take us some time tho as we're going more extreme with the pest eradication, our vermetid snails are so bad we both agreed the only sure way we can kill them all is by drying and recuring the rock. I'm glad we chose this path because we found other pests hiding in our rock like bubble algae and red turf algae.

Reefgrrl We don't want an endless pest thing to deal with, we'd much rather save and frag what coral we can then dry out our live rock to kill all the pests, it's an extreme and disheartening thing to have to do to lose all the progress we have made with our tank over the past few years, but we want to get more sps coral and want to concentrate on growing coal instead of trying to keep pests under control. Seeing how the vermetid snails are infested in every nook and cranny of every rock in our tank making it virtually impossible to eradicate them all I know we are making the right decision.

Hey Thom, vermetid snails cast a web of mucous-like, thready tentacles that can’t be seen until they catch stuff floating in the water column. So even when we can’t see them, they’re there, and in enough quantity they can irritate corals to where they won’t open. They spread fast! You’re welcome, and I hope you enjoyed it!

It’s like your garden - weeds are anything that grows where you don’t want it, or grows so well it overgrows other stuff. Those little blue polyps fit that description perfectly. Kind of like green star polyps, very invasive under the right conditions. I wish I would have isolated them on their own rock and I also wish I had never disturbed them while they were in the tank. It only takes a tiny fragment of one to land somewhere and they start to grow. 😱 it would have been okay if they just grew on bare rock but no, of course they had to invade the Zoas.

You can put zoas in straight hydrogen peroxide for a maximum of 2 minutes. I’ve done it, and it takes up to 48 hours for them to fully open again but it wiped out the algae and the zoas were happy. It’s a good idea to pluck off as much algae as you can first, or use a toothbrush or other soft brush to try and remove what you can, then submerge the zoas in the peroxide. I set a timer when I do it because that way I won’t misjudge how long they’ve been in there. Billy Pipes did a video about dipping zoas a couple of years ago. Here’s a link: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xoaE3Wd-cqSKqH4 Good luck! 👍🏻

how do you remove the vermitted snails. I've got heaps in my tank
@Reefgrrl
Жыл бұрын
@freshwater fish I have a set of bottle cleaning brushes with wire handles that have a ring at the end for hanging. This ring is the best tool I’ve found for removal in the tank. The wire can be bent to reach under rocks too. With the flow off, I drag the ring flat across the bases of the snails and they pop off, mostly with the bases intact. Then I siphon out as many of the bits as possible. This is not a permanent removal - it’s more of a cosmetic treatment because they do grow back, and I don’t always get the whole thing. It’s also possible they spread (but they spread anyway when you don’t do anything). Bumblebee snails will eat them - but it’s not a fast process and bumblebees can be expensive and hard to find. Often when you see ppl saying they don’t work it’s because they’ve not allowed enough time, and because the snails are active at night, they aren’t seen doing their work. But they do. Even as a method of control I think they’re worth having. I hope this helps - like a lot of these pests, there’s no quick fix but at least we can make things look a bit nicer. 🤷♀️

Have you ever kept a reef tank for any length of time? If you had, you wouldn’t have to ask. If you haven’t, then you wouldn’t know that keeping a reef is a constant battle to maintain balance. And when things get out of balance, pests can proliferate. I should point out that the corals in this video represent the worst-case examples. Most corals weren’t like this.

I’ve done a lot of research into Apex, Seneye, GHL etc over the past 4 years and IF I get a controller (a big if because I think they’re money pits) it will probably be GHL because several reefkeepers for whom I have a lot of respect, use GHL. They have the kH Director for alk testing and the Ion Director has just come out, with testing for Ca, Mg, NO3 and Potassium. And it doesn’t require the Profilux controller to work! I know about Trident - another pricey item that relies on Neptune’s ability to maintain a supply of reagents, plus they’re expensive and it’s a minimum commitment of 4X daily testing that the user cannot reduce. Captive market for costly refills. I think controllers are great for monitoring, but I can’t yet justify the cost because I’ve always been very hands-on with my tanks, I don’t really travel much (when I do, I hire the LFS to look after things - very cost-effective), and I don’t mind testing because I’m retired and I have the time. However with the bigger system, I’m keeping an open mind about getting some sort of controller/tester, so I’ll see how things develop. I agree with you about hidden wires! My new build will have clean lines with no cords hanging all over the place. Plans are already afoot for hidden shallow cabinets to house pump controllers and power bars. No cords crossing each other at the back! No tangled snakepits! 😂😂

this is why i hate corals - all these fucking pests that are disgusting. I have an infestation of vermetid snails that ive given up on. Literally just want to start over and do Fish only

I’ve found bumblebee snails keep the vermetids under control. They’re carnivorous.
