is it just me or did that not make very much sense? yeah 90g is a fine size. Small in the hobby is on the range of 5-10g.

I also forgot to mention that you should turn the pumps off during the injections. helps keep the juice in place even if the beastie spits some out. You can leave the rock in the tank... if you take it out the aiptasia will close up and you might lose track of it as it retracts into a crevice or something.

bv_reefer, night or day doesn't matter to these guys, if they break a piece of themselves off and that frag hits rock, it will regenrate itself into a full aiptasia... they're actually remarkably resilient... if a lil more than annoying.

i read that one from the conscientious marine aquarist, if you're wondering..

*smallest size you'd want then double it

how about peppermint shrimps? or butterfly fish? nudibrances? pros? cons? just trying to cover all the bases i wanna know if any of these work too without any adverse affects

these things are driving me bananas, they are multiply big time too. Luckily just to one rock.
Im still in my cycling stage, near the end so there is no livestock.

Ive tried the injecting and its not working,
so ive let the rock sit in a bucket of freshwater....

If this dont work, do you suggest the boiling water? or wait till my cycle is over, and give the peppermints a shot, id like to get rid of them before that step.
