My tank was overrun with aiptasia after 5 years as a FOWLR tank with two heavy polluters in it...the aiptasia loved the fish doo and poor water quality and spread all over. About three months ago one of the big fish died, I unloaded the second on someone with a larger tank, and I began cleanup and conversion to a mixed reef tank. I answered a classified ad on here for berghia after coming to the conclusion that they were the best and cheapest option to get rid of the aiptasia...just not the fastest. At first, the process was really slow (I purchased for juveniles for my 46 gallons) and I was lucky to see one of the berghia cruising the tank after lights out every couple of weeks. There were several times that I was ready to give up on them and start injecting aiptasia again, but each time I was close to doing that, one of the berghia would show itself and remind me that they were still there and doing what I'd gotten them for even though there was no visible difference in the aiptasia population. Over the last week, though, I've seen both the now-adult berghia and BABIES actively feeding at night. I can't help but silently cheer them on when I catch them on the hunt. I can't wait to see the difference in another month! So, my advice...be patient and they'll definitely clear your aiptasia problem up.
