Hi everyone,
I'm having a real battle with aiptasia and could use some constructive advice!! I'm not new to the hobby and have always come here to get answers to questions that I might have and have always found constuctive feedback! I have a 75 gallon tank, with lots of rockwork. I dont have alot of corals, but it seems like aiptasia has found a way into my tank even after quarantine and dipping. Ive gone through over 1000 ml of aiptasia-x and have 6 peppermint shrimp but they dont seem to be effective. They multiply faster than i can treat them. At this point, should I take the rock out and try bleaching it, the sand bed is covered as well in some areas. My thought is that Im going to have to break it down and bleach everything and possibly get new rock. My other thought was to take the shrimp out and get some Berghia nudibranchs and see if that helps. Ive probably got over 100lbs of rock and if I had to do it over again, I would not have so much! Ive read alot on the forums and Im not opposed to getting a filefish of a copperband butterfly, but my tank is fairly well stocked and Im not looking to add any more fish. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!
