Stupidity

[Doug]

So everyone says, add some real live rock to your tank of dead rock. I figured good idea. Now I have aiptasia everywhere. Is that not why I went with all dead rock??? That never worked anyways.

Putting in a sandbed so I could have wrasses. I vacuum clean it every water change, where I can reach it. You should see how dirty the water is I take out. Its unbelievable.

Just a minute, I will think of some more.

Telling your wife how much you just paid for that *insert item here*...

STUPID aiptasia.............STUPID live rock.





Thats all. I feel better now.

That's really odd Doug. I just went through 4 boxes of rock, not an aiptaisia in sight.
Where did this "live rock" come from?

[Doug]

Just 2 pieces I bought locally Brad. From a store here. They sure looked good when I purchased them.

Problem I see with stores these days is many don't order rock anymore. They take it as trade ins, buy tanks full from shut downs, etc. Then sell it as new. But in the end, after a couple years of running a reef, you risk getting pests regardless of what rock you use. Unless you never add anything but the rock.

Aiptaisia IMO is inevitable. And as far as pests go, not really high up in the ratings. Unless you get one and let it reproduce for a few months
