    Aiptasia Anemone removal question

    I used peppermints also... started with a whole lot of 'em. added like 6 peppermints and I never saw them actually eat one. They seem real active at night and dont really see them during the day. Just a nice gradual reduction in aptasia, then one day....... no more aptasia, and haven't seen one...

    I guess I should ask, what kind of corals.. if it is strictly softies I would say too high intensity lighting.. move them to the bottom of the tank and too the sides so they aren't direct under the bulb and see how they react.

    I was thinking more of copper in the rock that you bought??? I don't think acrylic will hold it too well (copper) if at all... you could try and put carbon in a filter sock in the sump to test a chemical warfare problem.. just make sure you get decent flow thru it. was the tank that you bought...

    plague of mushrooms

    I agree totally... WARNING TO EVERYONE ELSE JUST STARTING OUT... be careful what you put in your tank, someday you might want it out... I was hoping something would eat them, like peppermints and aptasia, Its a 210 gallon and I have thousands of the #%@#$ things.. I'd rather deal with aptasia.

    plague of mushrooms

    Hi Anthony, I'm looking to thin out my mushroom population. they seem to spread almost as bad as aptasia. they grow on about everything. Is there a predator that will selectively target them? I have softies, lps, sps, ect. or should I pick them off one at a time?? Thanks!!!!!
