aptasia x ques

[Jarrett]

i just bought this to kill the 3 heads i have in my tank before it gets to be a problem. i turned off the power heads but when i turned them back on it blew all the white cloud all over the tank. will it hurt or affect my corals? it didn't land on any of them that i can see just wanted to make sure, because i am sure i will have to use it again.

1+ Get a peppermint shrimp or bristle file fish or copper banded or scrap it out from your rocks. When I had that problem I purchased a few peppermint shrimps and it some what did the job but not 100% the best thing that worked for me was removing the rock and scraping it out one by one.

I had great luck with Joes juice and yes it blows around the tank after you turn the power heads back on but it will not hurt other corals.

Don't scrape in the tank if you go that rout you need to remove the rock and even that
Is no guarantee you will get it all.

Good luck! I would hit it again in a few days with the X and leave your powerheads off for like 20 min.

removing the rock is not an option, its a base rock. i am just going to spray it with the aptasia x constantly until it goes away. its not a problem like i said theres only 3 heads, so ill just keep at it. thanks guys.
