looking for some help!!!

I have a friend that let his tank go and is willing to give me all his livestock. He has a bad outbreak of purple slime, manjos and who know what else. There are tourch corals, two BTA's, zoos, acans, a few SPS and chalices. Probably $800-1000 in coral. I don't have a QT tank and am scared to put them in my reef. I'm looking for a low price way to treat these corals and put them in my tank. What products and methods can I use? Thanks

 

There are several good dips available. Coral RX is a very good one.

I would not put any rock from the tank in yours. As for the corals, I would have no problem with as long as a good dip is done.

 

Will Coral Rx portect me from purple slime and manjo nems? Or just pests?

 

Be very very careful with Mojano Anemones!
I ignored a couple that were way down in back of my rockwork and they wiped my tank out in a short period of time.

This is how it used to look:


and this is how it looked once the Mojanos multiplied and stung all my SPS and LPS corals:


I am still restocking 2 years later and being much more careful about what I place in the display.

Mojanos have few predators if any, I have not found anything that eats them. I pulled all the rock out and cooked it for 6 weeks then sprayed the Mojanos that survived with distilled white vinegar and still have stragglers I am dealing with today. In the tank I inject them with kalk paste and that works well but is a PITA.

As far as dipping corals or treating them, I use Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure, Interceptor, Flatwom Exit, Lugols and others depending on what I am treating for. None cures mojanos but work on pests.

 

AZ, so sorry. That really S$%KS.

 

Joe's Juice works great for mojano's or aiptasia-x.

As for the purple slime, increase flow and decreased light. That stuff doesn't like flow go total darkness for 3 days.

 

None of the corals them selfs have nems on them that I can see but you never know. There is some purple slime on some on them. I'm looking for some methods what to dip with, How to dip and if all corals can be dipped the same. THANKS

I used CoralRX Pro as my dip. Just follow the directions and inspect the corals using a magnifier of some kind. The red slim will most likely die off during the dip as it is actually a bacteria and not a true algae.

 

Thanks everyone!!
