So it has finally started...

Today the teardown officially started...
But first clean the coraline algae off the glass.
Tear down is due to the multiplying Manjano's in my tank. Got lazy and stopped removing them when I saw a few here and there now have hundreds.
So out of the tank into a Muriatic Acid bath 4:1 solution let sit for a couple hours, if that does not eradicate them then it will be a bleach bath.
I have a huge colony of Blue ridge coral if anyone is interested it is manjano free..lmk or I will be disposing of it tomorrow.

Good for you. And the tank too..lol

Are you diluting the acid solution? Or. Are melting the carbonate out of it???

SO!!! after removing 50% of the rock and allowing the tank to clear, looking yesterday the Manjano's have migrated up the tank walls. so I am safe to assume that they are now also in the pipework.
Only solution left is to remove all the rock sift through the sand bed and remove the critters. Then Bleach the system and restart...

Darn ..... But of you are already doing the work.. Do it properly and eradicate the mojano. Once and for all
