Ok soooo I have a 4.5 gallon display that is now filled with these stupid things. They are WAY too tiny to pluck by hand even in such a tiny tank. It is a super well established nano stocked with super pricy zoas...
Here’s where I feel like I’m hosed... my tank consumes tons of food just to keep the nitrates above 0. When the food slows the nitrates plummet and I get dinos. Which at this point MIGHT be preferable to the hydroids. They splinter out is super delicate rows in between my zoas stinging entire colonies to death in no time.
Any ideas welcome. Not an inexperienced reefer. Been in the nano game since 2000 and in the reefing world even longer than that... not willing do dose potions or killing agents of any kind into the tank. I’ve always seen that go sideways.
hoping someone might have a way of keeping nitrates high as I cut food...? Or have a predator for these wretched things...
I know there is a massive correlation between reef chili and reef roids and these things. I feed both. Any correlation between them an aminos? Hoping to keep corals as healthy as possible as I cut food and cause a dip to zero in nitrates...
