Guess what guys... LEVAMISOLE SUCKS for an in tank treatment for AEFW's, and now I have the facts to prove it.
As some of you already know, I was using the pure form of the medication at 5 grams of pure Levi to 200 gallons of water (would not recommend anyone going any higher on their dose!!! Fish lost appetite and almost lost two pieces of coral). Breakdown. Tank 150g, and sump 50g. Yes, I did go with the total water volume by the dimensions of the two. Did five treatments altogether, with six day increments. And yes, skimmer's air intake was in the water, so no skimming was taking place during the treatment. Also sock was changed before and after as well.
And guess what now... After a close inspection today with my LED flashlight. One of my colonies had about 10-15 small guys, one huge, and even egg sacks. Did the usual proceeder on the coral (coralrx dip, cut dead areas).
I'm now looking into getting four or five AEFW eating Wrasses. And hopefully, I can keep them under control by turkey basting the coral once a week and letting the wrasses eating the free floating ones.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask them.
