When this hobby started in 1971 we tried to keep aiptasia and mojanos alive because they were the only inverts we could get. I used to feed them and cultivate them, but they still died. Our tanks were kind of sucky then and It would be hard to keep a moose alive. :D

Why do you think they were so hard to keep alive back then? We're you using NSW? Or some kind of table salt? Maybe your failures back then could be somebody's success today lol

Our tanks were not reefs. The rocks were dead and we almost always kept copper in our tanks because although we thought all fish were spotted, it was actually Ich. :rolleyes:

I joined the aptaisa jar band wagon. My LFS had this beauty that he was happy to donate to my project. It's in a Mason jar with some sand from my tank, couple small rocks and some cheato. Im gonna get a air stone and maybe rig up a single LED.

I never thought I'd try to keep aptaisa, let alone spend money on equipment and feed one to keep it alive. I bought a $4 LED to put over the jar and it seems to like it lol but I like this thing as long as it stays far away from my DT it can stay.
