I feel your pain, when I was your age and in school I didn’t have a phone or airpods

Or Nikes... And those leaf skirts you wore weren't the most comfortable while sitting on the rocks and chiseling your tablet...

I think I had a Walkman, but I don’t think I ever took it to school.

He also had to walk to school in the snow, uphill both ways

Actually I would have welcomed that, in reality it was uphill both ways in two inches of broken glass with no shoes on. :winking-face:

I thought that in those days Kevin could go to school riding a mammoth :upside-down-face:

Only reason I use them is to distract myself from the noisy people.

They do things differently in Ohio!

just cleaned the skimmer. didn't really want to do it but it only takes like 5 minutes. Afterwards went to clean the glass and someone beat me to it. So I guess I won't clean the glass.

I had an big Aiptasia growing inside my red lava rock cave where my butterfly couldn't reach it. I pulled the whole rock and dropped it in a five gallon bucket of 5% citric acid with my gyre alongside it. When I pulled them out all the formerly living material just sloughed off. I keep the citric acid in a bucket with a lid out back. Mixing new stuff up every time would add up. Saving it was my brother Ryan's suggestion.

Wes,

Warning; mini brain dump--

This brings up an interesting idea (I have my best ideas in the restroom but while sleeping is a close second, this is a sleeping idea so could be legit): Some people have really good success using Kalkwasser or Lime Juice to kill Aiptasia but others have zero success with it. I think the difference is application and where the Aiptasia is located.

Your Aiptasia that completely melted was on lava rock, a porous material and I have also had good success with Kalkwasser on Aiptasia on porous rock surfaces but even a citric bath doesn't kill all of them on non-porous surfaces like plastic, glass, or titanium. I've never citric-bathed a reef rock but I believe you are right it will work pretty much 100% of the time on a reef rock, because it is porous.

I think that the key to actually killing, versus just maiming or encapsulating an Aiptasia is to completely saturate the foot which is very difficult on a non-porous surface. So why do some have luck with Lime Juice or Kalkwasser and others don't; I think the key is to apply enough down close to the foot to saturate the rock at the Aiptasia's foot.

No i think it might be crumbled tempura what ever it is it is very yummy
