Since i got alot of different types of macroalgaes and one frag tank is currently on hyposalinity, i wanted to prepare the replanting of the frag tank.
How do i assure the macroalgaes i put in there are aptasia and sea lettuce free?
I am struggling with the sea lettuce right now, since it is going to overgrow other macroalgaes, and it even appears in thanks where i thought i put clean macroalges in (no obvious signs of sea lettuce and aptasia on the frag)
So what should i do?
The frag tank should be clean after 35 days of hyposalinity or not? Atleast i hope i killed every sea lettuce and aptasia cell by doing hypo.
I would start by making small frags, clean them under magnification, and then wash them in fresh saltwater. If i can't see any ulva or aptasia under a scope, there shouldn't be any, am i right? And Washington them in fresh saltwater should remove smaller bits?
And then i am Petting them in an old freshwater tank with new saltwater in it for quarantine, but for how long till i can say it is Pest free?
