    Great concept. I have always wanted something like this for my tank. I would use it for coral and for cleaning under rocks. Pushing out any accumulation under the rocks while doing the water change. It would of course need to have variable speeds .

    Love your channel. I really look forward to seeing the progress of your endeavor. I think it would be neat to see a small tank simply dedicated to reef aquarium pests. Collect them as you encounter them, and it would be a nice educational tool for hobbyists. Even a tank of macro algae would be cool too.

    Hi Jake. Just picked up one to remove some sponges that have grown onto som of my Frogspawn colonies. Great advice! You mentioned that you add Lugols to the water, is it the normal 40 drops/gallon that is recomended for dipping or do you use a stronger dosage?

    Might work well, but only in a separate tank/bucket. Never in your display. If it shreds their flesh you will spread them! Maybe this is obvious to you, but I want to warn anyone to the risk!

    Sounds likes a really great idea, but it doesn't eradicate the Aiptasia polyp - it just reduces into lots of little pieces which grow back into many more unwanted pest anemones.

    Wondering a few things... 1) Why do it under the water? Would you not get better pressure if you were not having to "push" through the water? 2) Why not use fresh water instead of sw? I know people dip corals/live rock in fresh water to remove some pests... kind of a 2 for 1 if using fresh?

    Revive should kill the adults but not the eggs (so you either have to dip frequently, use something stronger, or remove eggs via different method).

    Does the salt water reduce the life of the Waterpik? Seems like the easiest solution is just to throw the whole coral into a small bucket with some Bayer's and call it a day.

    The dips dont work on the eggs of those little devils. It takes several dips with nasty chemicals. When you dip such a large colony it's also more difficult to rinse them off and you're more likely to leech that crap into your DT.

    colonies from mature displays and experienced friends - trust me I WANT to treat every coral that comes in but there were a ton last week, and dipping wouldn't have removed the Nudi eggs anyway. But the displays are what counts, the corals will go through another protocol before they go into bonafide reef tanks.
