I have a 46G Bow w/ 20#LS, 40#LR, and 20# Base Rock that is srarting to color. The tank has been setup about 6 months. I have a very light bio load with a single small Ocellaris, several mushroom rocks, some zoos, a small leather, and candy cane. I also got a fire shrimp about two weeks ago.
This week I noticed a small ~1/4 inch Aptasia on the side of one of the mushroom rocks. I shot the Aptasia with about 1/2t of Kent's Liquid Calcium from a syringe. The Aptasia shriveled and shrunk but came back the next day much smaller but still alive. I gave it another 1/2t shot of the Kent's. This was yesterday.
Today the Fire Shimp was dead. I found his exoskeleton but not much else. Did I kill him with the Calcium? I tested the water for Nitrate, Nitrite, and Amonia. These are all zero.
I would like to replace the Fire Shrimp but would also like to get a True Pepermint as preventative control against the Aptasia. Will the shrimp co-exist?
