My molly miller also never touched aiptasia. I'd strongly recommended a significant number of berghia in a low flow area of the tank introduced during lights out. They 100% eradicated my aiptasia over the course of 4 months. Not a single one since in 3 years, and I had several aggressive hunting wrasse when I added them.

I have a Molly Miller. Never seen it touch Aiptasia but they reportedly do, yes. They're nocturnal mostly it seems like (or at least mine is). I also don't have an Aiptasia problem, but there are 4 or 5 in the tank.

My Berghia were added after dark in the 125 and survived the leucoxanthus and melanurus wrasses. Also had a single Peppermint shrimp in the 70 with both of them for more than a year. Haven't seen it in probably around 6 months though.

Just 4 or 5, i have like 100 lol

Berghia, I put them in the sump where there are a billion aiptasia. They grow, spawn create an army. Will they crawl through the return pump to display? :D

Possibly. You can also go in after dark, suck one or two up in a turkey baster and place them in the display with flow turned off for 5-10 minutes.

Unfortunately they get into plumbing lines, overflow boxes and pumps

He's talking about the Berghia, not the Aiptasia. He already has Aiptasia in the display.

Hey Nate...

 

[Nate Chalk]

Hey Nate...

I am making an effort, just got my second cup of coffee

 

[Nate Chalk]

Last night tried 3ml of vinegar, looking to slowly bring down nitrates, everything else is doing pretty good. Skimmer production was visibly improved 1/4 inch of brown water overnight, No clouds, I would imagine its a slow ramp that wins and accelerates all bacteria.

Attempting a slow couple day treatment to not overshoot or throw anything out of wack.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Prior day replaced carbon, socks, skimmer cleaning.

Goni's were looking a little upset, this was 1 day after the above treatments

 

[Nate Chalk]

I guess it improved my ability to photograph as well...

 

[Nate Chalk]

Happier
