I highly recommend Coral Rx. I going through the same issue right now> I have taking all my Acro's out of my DT and placed them in my quarantine after dip in Coral Fx (it smells like Pine Sol). IMO you have dip them at least two more time 14-15 days in between each dip...this will insure that all AEFW have been eradicated

. The cycle of AEFW eggs are 15 days.
Most importantly you have to make sure there is no Acro's in your main tank for at least 5-6 week, this will insure that the AEFW are not laying eggs on another Acro.
If your SPS are attached to your rock work (like mine were) you either have to move the whole rock in your quarantine tank or break off the SPS and scrape every last bit of the SPS of your rock...it sucks but IMO if you don't do it right the first time they will reek havoc again.

Good luck.
