Wow time flies. It's been about 3 months now. Haven't really stocked up as much as I would like to maybe because I'm running out of money. here's a tank shot from today feed back from anyone is greatly appreciated.

Messy electrical wiring. Didn't want to put it inside the stand. I think I will live with it outside. Better planning next time around.

Yes. Nuke them, before they spread everywhere.

Peppermint shrimps work wonders for me. I had a bunch of aiptasia a while ago and got 3 peppermint shrimps and have not had any since.

Horrible pic but that's 2 nudibranches eating a huge aiptasia.

Tank looks good. How many aiptasia do you have. Onece thay are gone those nudis are toast unless you can move them on to someone elses tank that has them.

Thanks!

At the moment I have a lot of aiptasias. Hopefully they will produce itself just in time to feed the nudibranches. That's why I only got 2 cause I wanted a lil Eco system for them. Didn't want to eliminate the aiptasia just control them. Hopefully it works out

Cool, I was reading about them recently and the article was saying they both will come and go over time. Nudis will increase in number then aptasia will decrease then flip flop.

 

[dannyny]

Can someone help me out with these bubbles in my tank?? What are they and how do I get rid of them if they are bad. Thanks.

 

[DrAsTiC]

aiptasia= google it, there is many ways people have dealt with them. Some good some bad ways,but you have to get rid of them. They will sting your corals.

I think he was referring to the bubble algae all around his aiptasia..

I honestly thought those were zoas or palys lol. I figured the aiptasia was stinging them.
