Good to here that they worked for you as well. Like anything else they're not always a 100% cure, but we seem to be batting 1000 here so far. Anytime I can find a natural solution to a problem -vs- a chemical one I opt for natural. With all of the dependencies and interactions going on in a reef, you never know what the end result of adding chemicals may be. 
So many species, so little money!

| It is absolutely not true that you can't keep a coral banded shrimp with other ornamental shrimp. I have a 75 gal. reef with a rather large coral banded, two cleaner shrimp, 4 peppermints, a fire shrimp and even a sexy shrimp. He has never bothered anyone. In fact, he stays off to himself and quite private. I have to wait until night time to get a good pic of him. Other inhabitants we have in the tank: one pink and one rose bubble tip anemone, about 50 different corals, sailfin tang, yellow tang, algae blenny, scooter blenny, mated pair of maroon clowns, ruby wrasse, three large chromis, two damsels, orchid dottyback, blue linkia star, sand sifting star, brittle star, two headed coco worm, 18 inch tigertail cucumber, 3 emerald crabs, sally lightfoot crab, various hermits and snails. Our tank has been up and running for several years and everything stays quite stable. I think the key to keeping any inhabitants together is to just make sure you are meeting their conditions. Everyone gets enough to eat and their water quality is kept at pristene levels, so no one bothers anyone else. I do weekly water changes and run everything on timers for consistency.
