Final Riddance of Aptasia

[KarlK]

Good point. I guess oxygen-hydrogen torches are out of our price range

haha! that's hilarious!

I've also thought, what if you were to smother the little buggers one by one with 2 part epoxy? just erase them?

would solve not being able to take the rock out of the water.

and you just break off the epoxy from the rock a few months later if you don't like it being there.

Some people can't keep peppermints, eg. people who keeps ric's or triggers.

This is like the last thing I'd ever buy to control Aiptasia. Too difficult for most people and a flat out mistake for anyone with less than 72 gallons of water.

But yeah, solutions to Aiptasia come in all forms. Personally, I use psychic laser beams.

why is it the last thing you would buy. I have a 120g

They're finicky and can often refuse to eat, Aiptasia notwithstanding. I know a lot of people have some very robust CBB's out there, but we're talking low numbers in relation to what's actually purchased.

I'm not slamming your post or anything, just making sure people can see all sides of the problem.
