    Aptasia...Grrr

    You can also use a product calls Joe's Juice. It's what I use and it works just great. You can buy this product at Marine Depot and other online stores. It will not harm anything in your tank. The good news is you don't have to inject it you just squirt it into the offender. Regards, Pat

    Scored Big!

    T5 does not have the MH shimmer that I love. That's one thing you can't duplicate with anything less than metal halide. Regards, Pat
