Aiptasia

[RedipsNam]

I have tons of them from my 10 gallon tank I only have 2 clownfish from there but running the same water and sump to my 20 gallon and another 10 gallon so do you guys think peppermint shrimp could kill all of them in my 10 gallon tank before it reaches my sump? I double check my sump I don’t have this aiptasia yet

just so everyone knows, I covered the overflow elbow with fish net so this macro algae won’t flow down to sump, was planning to make it a macro algae tank with breeding clowns

with small tanks like that you can mix up some kalk paste, or inject them with lemon juice

Peppermint shrimp might help, but I'm sure it's seeded into the whole system.

Injecting might take a while and they are so tiny I swear so what is the best idea? Or turn off the return pump and dump a lemon juice instead?

Ugh it was so fast, ******* guy who gave me a chaeto, so should I grab 3 peppermint shrimp? To each tanks or 2 for now one from 10 gallon tank and from sump? or just the berghia nudibranch? Use it to my 10 gallon until it’s finish and grab him to my sump up to 20 gallon tank? And to last one my 10 gallon?

I have three in a 60g and they took care of all mine practically overnight.

try the 2 in the tank that's got them and maybe move them around after they do the work in your DT

Here is a picture a berghia nudibranch on the hunt for aiptasia. Caught him doing it this morning. So far it is working even though it took months to see results. Half the population of aiptasia is missing as of yesterday. Don't know what I will find this morning.

If you have the ability to take your rocks out you can get a tool to gouge them out and then put something on the hole when you are done. This way you don't spread anything by messing with them in the water. Just a thought.

That is what I should have done early on but didn't and then landed my tech with 100's of them and had to bring in the navy seals to exterminate them.

Yes, peppermint shrimp.

Thanks sir!

 

[RedipsNam]

Yes, peppermint shrimp.

And one more thing is it fine to run my pump to that tank? I think these aiptasia can’t go through to my sump? I don’t see them in sump and other tanks yet
