Hey all
So ridding my tank of 3 nasty things I am ABSOLUTELY DONE WITH.
* Majanos
* Purple clove polyps
* Nuclear Green Palys
PREFACE: for the sake of keeping this thread on track, I respect everyones opinion, but I have tried virtually EVERYTHING to get of these things I have mentioned. From filefish, apitasia x, etc etc etc yada yada yada. Nothing has worked.
But I did get a 3 watt laser for zapping majanos and it is on its way and will be here in just a few days. THAT I know will kill the majanos and really rid my tank of a vast majority of them (as I have a BAD BAD outbreak of them) as well as totally fry the purple polyps. (there is another thread I started for lasers as well, so please questions on that are a different thread )
BUT... those toxic palys.
My options are:
1. simply play it safe and yank the rocks that are on there, chip away the sps that I want and put it onto new live rock I can get.
or:
2. Zap 3 or 4 at a time every other day and really go slow with them and just kill them that way.
And oh yah, I have a 6ft long, 125 gallon tank with another 25 gallons in the sump.
Thanks all ... Look forward to hearing from those who have dealt with these. and by all means, I have no problem simply yanking the rock and not risk utter disaster, but I am wondering if I can just go ridiculously slow and kill them one by one, as getting into my tank and yanking those rocks is going to be a major pickle task (all be it better then a system crash though)
