I started an aiptasia tank in a ~4 gl plastic box, and 5 nudis in ~1 gl acrylic box.
I recently converted my ~ 10gl pod culture to aiptasia tank also.
They lay eggs constantly the first few days, so have had 12 visible clusters in total.
Post some pics- I fell behind (life stuff) and haven’t set up yet

You used 2liter containers not 2 gallons?
No increase in api in your direct tank?
Not really, it’s hard to have a aip problem wend you have a nudibranch culture :)

because I had a good reliable filtration from the main tank a small container was all I needed, I couldn’t achieve the same if it wasn’t connected to the main system.

Thanks, in my defence it’s only cheap and looks decent, they will be cool for other projects to wend am done with this. It will make a neat phytoplankton reactor if I change the acrylic tube for a longer one to, currently only around 300ml will see later on today if the results are good, only got it last night.

No brand, it’s similar to this one makes collecting the shrimp really easy.

Not really, as it was purchased from my local store.

Not sure if it is the exact same brand, but identical to this one:

A few pictures I just took of mine:

I love this thing, as rinsing and setup takes just a few minutes.
Also, the artemia is easily collected and I can keep collecting for 2 days, as they don't all find the center at the same time.

Hi all,
I am trying to breed Berghia nudibranch.. but with very limited success.
The eggs looks fine for a couple of days and then seems like these worms attacking them and disolve them.
Basically the spiral with eggs dissapear in 5-6 days and it's completly disolved in the water.

Can somebody help ?
Is it possible to sterilize the environment and try to put only berghia eggs ?
Or is some water parameters wrong so they die?

ON the video, you will see some live eggs with embrio movement inside, and as well some worm that is trying to go inside.

Thanks in advance

Amphipods eat Berghia eggs so, if that is what you have, then you will need to work through that issue.
