APTASIA its good for your tank?

[globaldesigns]

You can say they are good because they will eat nutrients in your tank, but most of us consider them bad because:

1.) they multiply fast
2.) are ugly
3.) will sting other corals

Basically as stated above, they can take over.

There are many methods to kill them, personally I just mix KALK with water to make a pasty liquid and then using a syringe, I inject and cover each one. Will usually kill them in one try.

They are only good if they can stay in the sump and not going anywhere :-)

+1, I have hundreds of little ones in my sump... Gave up on trying to get them gone. Bough aptaisa eating nudi's, well I haven't seem them since putting them in (except for one, floating around in the DT), and I still have the pests in my sump.

None, in the DT, and as you stated, as long as they stay in the sump. I am happy. Always have an eye out for them up above, and if spotted, THEY GET NUKED!!!

I can say, since adding the second skimmer, which is pulling lots of skimmate also. I am noticing the aptaisa in the sump starting to dwindle, getting smaller, and in some areas just gone. So maybe not enough nutrients in the water now for them.

They seem to float anywhere and multiply. Not sure if maybe a UV sterilizer would keep your DT safe?
