I had millions (not actual count) a few years ago, in my 130g (which is connected to my 170g by a 150g sump, but they did not get aptasia). After trying every chemical and manual removal method for months, I broke down and bought about 50 carib. peppermint shrimp...the aptasia is gone, and has not returned, a few shrimp are still alive, in fact while pruning some macro algae in my sump this week, I saw a pep. shrimp...he must have taken a ride down thru the filter return pipes (more than 30 ft), to get there!

Don't know what "LOL" is or means , but try Pep.Shrimp they have always worked for me.
Make sure you put them in ,in the dark so they don't get eaten.

 

[duke62]

'LOL" means lots of luck!

LOL usually means Laugh or Laughing Out Loud

Duke, I had a LNH w/lots of peps & didnt have any problems. Did you try adding peps?

Duke

I had the same thing happen to me...Had two peppermints get rid of some aiptasia. Thought I was all good until a year later one reared it's ugly head. So off to get some aiptasia x and some more peppermint shrimp

 

[juiceguy]

I had the same issue but with a copperband, aiptasia disappeared for about 4 months, then the copperband died and aiptasia re-appeared soon after

 

[Mr.First]

Laughing out loud, what the heck does THAT mean ??
Get the pep shrimp in when the lights are out give them time to establish themselves. No more aptasia. LOL LOL

 

[grknyer]

I don't know about lots of luck but you will definately need some of this>>>

because it comes in a close second next to the ultimate Antichrist which is Bryopsis but that's a whole other problem in it's self


j/k I used a combo of Aptaisia Control by Blue Life and IC gel to encase the aptasia. Aptasia free for over a year now

LOL.

Aiptasia make good filter feeders in your sump if you're not worried about them somehow getting back into your display.
