I was reading a thread on another site and there is a guy there that sets up tanks with aptasia sumps. He has found that it is an inexpensive and efficient way to polish water. To control the aptasia from leaving the sump, he uses UV sterilizers on the pump return lines.

I have heard of it too, but xenia and macro algae work as good or better I would think, why risk Aiptasia.

My aiptasia is everywhere BUT my sump

All the more to feed my aiptasia nudibranches when they arrive, so yes actually! I am going to try to breed them, I will probably run out of Aiptasia too quickly.
