Paly taking over
 

I have a paly that's decided to really take over my tank. It smothers out zoas and SPS. Other than kalk paste which I know does work, what other methods have you guys used? I'd have to use way too much paste to rid my tank of all of these palys. First it was clove polyps now this:frown:

Theres a tonne of fish that eat zoas and palys you could take out all good zoos and palys and put the fish in?

epoxy

Thanks Hayden but I have several palys and it's only the one that's taking over and not really smart to put a fish in that can wipe out thousands of dollars in other corals. Plus with a 233G tank it would take several pounds of epoxy

This would work. :)

Pretty damn cool for sure. I would think though that it would be as efficient as an aptasia zapper that uses electricity. And from personal experiences, all that does is make them multiply a lot faster. But that laser makes dealing with them a lot easier I guess.

why don't you just cut them off with a razorblade? Maybe a few will grow back but kalk those instead of the whole lot, and sell, trade or give away the frags. Or flush them down the toilet if you really hate them.

My tank is 30" deep and stands over 6' tall. I have to stand on a chair to work on it. It's hard to work in and to reach the bottom I always get my tits wet:lol:
Plus I've been to lazy and let them get outta hand. And Slyguy I have an aptasia zapper already and it's kind of a piece of crap

Yea they are a piece of crap, that was kinda my point lol. They work about as well as any other aptasia killer. Just spreads spores everywhere. To avoid getting wet, could always drain water a little bit :wink:
