[nycfatcow]

ohh man...thanks a lot deep...but what a hassle...

 

[joe]

if you dont wanna buy the juice(its just kalk and RO/DI water) ur welcome to have a cup of kalk powder, if you wanna cum to manhattan

 

[nycfatcow]

where in manhattan are you?

 

[DEEPWATER]

you can come to brklyn if you like ,I can give you kalk as well,
the hassle will be if these guys get all over your tank ,Then that will be your biggest hassle .If you start to kil them off now ,1 by 1 ,it wil much easier then having 100s in your tank,
oh yeah ,welcome to the world of reefing ,its not the only bad hitch hiker you will be looking for in your hobby days to come !

Peppermint shrimp eat aptasia.

Not all....

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

True but it's worth a try before pulling everything out of the tank and injecting all your holes.

 

[nycfatcow]

i only see twoo of them....think there are more?

 

[nycfatcow]

ohh yeh one more thing i have another BTA on the other side of the tank will the kalk kill it?

 

[stingnyc]

yes to the 1st question and no to the 2nd....

Sure fire way... Bake them in an oven (stinks to high heaven) for 15 min on 400deg and it will kill anything on the outer surface of the rock. The inner bacteria survive. But you will have a cycle again but not that bad. This is great for base rock not the nice top rock with stuff on it you want...

I am just a little cooky is all

Pseudo, I personally like them broiled :lol:..

Aptasia are easy to keep and propagate, they are known to be reef fish friendly and even newbie do well with them.
