So I got a new camera last weekend and was just taking some close ups of my 75, and I found what I didn't want to see.
I've done all the reading about red bugs and know what I have to do, but...
Here is my question, I can't do a full tank treatment until the beginning of July at the earliest. ( vacation and back surgery ). After tanking a bunch of pictures I can only notice them on two corals. Would it it help at all to just treat those now, or wait until I can do the whole tank?
Should be noted that I haven't gotten any new corals for that tank for at least 6 months. So I am assuming that I've these for a while now. Still getting good growth and decent PE (( as decent as can have with angels in the tank ))
And for giggles, here is a picture. The color of the coral is better in person, I messed with the white balance so that the bugs could be seen better. And the polyps are closed because I had taken the coral out of the tank to try to get a better picture.
Thanks,
