everything doing well, decided that I hate PC lighting and need to get some LEDS in there fast!
Here comes my wallet modular!~

Another thing though, is the dreaded Aiptasia. I believe I have one in my tank, and he is quite large!
about 1/2"-1" I dont see any other "babies"but Iam not 100% sure where else they may be.

I have shrimp and other corals, as well as 2 fish.
The shrimp are just sexy shrimp and are the same size as the Aiptasia, so they wont help.

Please and suggestions, I do have some coral dip but the rock the Aiptasia is on also is home to the Carpet nem (maximini). Will coral dipping get rid of this nasty bugger?

thanks for the help!

Get aptasia X. Works like charm and you can use it in water. Now that you have noticed one aptasia, it would be wise to have that in hand :P

BTW pics?

Ill try and post some today

Would you advise dosing the entire system or taking the rock out and dosing it seperately? and will the Atipsia X harm my maximini on the same rock?

AiptasiaX is not for dosing, you receive a syringe with it and you feed it directly to the Aiptasia and it will make them implode. Search Youtube for videos. Therefore, unless you feed it to anything else, you won't harm anything.

much to my shigrin it would seem my sexy shrimp have a desire for the flesh of the dreaded aiptasia. I had three of the drifters come in on some frags, and now I see only one of the small ones, and the remains of the other smaller one. The large on is completely gone. Hopefully They ate them and it didnt just find somewhere safe to life. ahha
