Rid Live Rock Of Pests

[naesco]

I got to agree with Stir but there are clearly two ways to go. To each their own.

I prefer the natural way. I want the live rock to be teeming with tonnes of varied life. I can deal with the pests if they happen.

One peppermint shrimp will soon munch down any aptaisia plague and I am not going to worry about a few here and there.

If hair algae becomes a problem I will borrow a sea hare for two weeks and the hair algae plague is gone.

I believe the more life there is in the rock and sand the more natural food there is for the fish and coral that thrive on it.
