The funny thing is I never had a bad problem with them in all the years I have had marine tanks.
I had a couple once and got some peppermint shrimp. Never saw the shrimp again and the aptasia were gone in a week.

Depends but usually a month or so. Depends if they're getting picked off, or if you were unlucky and don't have many females
Last time we had to use nudis it took about 1-2 months before you could see a huge drop in aiptasia numbers in my friends tank, 3 months and didn't see a single one after that. Managed to get more then we ordered out of the tank and moved them to a fellow reefers tank. Same thing there time wise, but he was not able to get any out so I assume they died : (
Wow seems it took you guys a lot longer. My friend has an 8x3x2 covered in Aiptasia over every single inch of rock, he started with 5 Berg's, all gone in a month flat.
I wonder if it's because he had so many aiptasia that they colonized faster.

Did I miss something? Is he already in boot camp?Got to talk to Daniel! He's fine, sounded a little shook up from shock treatment.
He also sent letters that we got today.
I am so proud of my son!

Yes, he left last tuesday @Brew12
He is now down range and was able to make a quick call.
We also received an envelope full of short letters yesterday.
He will be fine. His girlfriend I am not so sure about. She came over last night to get her letter (I am guessing they only gave him one envelope) she looked pretty upset. All I could do was give her a hug and reassure her that he would be fine and she could come over and just sit or have dinner any time she wanted.

My son wrote my wife and his girlfriend almost every day. The USMC doesn't allow recruits to call home but they get a 1/2 hour to write almost every day. Those letters meant the world to us and I'm sure you guys are feeling the same way. I'm convinced boot camp is much harder on the ones left behind than the ones going through it!

I believe you are right. They are going through it so they see what's going on and they are so busy, it flies by.
I remember it well. Seemed like I blinked and the first 4 weeks were up. The first week is called the hammer phase if I remember correctly. Like the old Japanese saying "The nail that sticks out, gets hammered"

So, I had some spots of tough algae on the glass and my scraper wasn't up to the task.
I ordered this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8PUHKA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Immediately realized the blades were too flimsy. But, it's stainless steel and easy enough to maneuver. The thought occurred to try a utility knife blade and it worked perfectly! They rust like crazy so I am ordering some stainless versions of them.
Very happy.

I found out Daniels address! And I was able to see the side of his head in a picture his unit posted on their FB page. I wish it were more.
Man, I miss him! I think I am driving Tim nuts. I don't have a favorite. So, now the attention Daniel was getting is going to Tim and I don't think he likes double. LOL!
Even worse, the chores Daniel was doing have to go somewhere. so.....
