Let my guard down

Leadfooted · Jan 9, 2018

I admit I got a little lazy on some frags as of late. Sure enough my first aptasia outbreak in 9 years. I purchased a Aptasia Eating file fish from a LFS that I'm already regretting. Anyone know of a retailer in Florida where I can grad some Berghia Nudibranchs? Not a chance on removing rocks for this unfortunately, and I also found out the hard way that Aptasia X is great baby maker :(.

I purchased mine from http://reeftown.com/ late last summer. Had a really bad outbreak exacerbated by my trying to kill a few polyps with Aiptasia-X. Took the nudibranchs several months, but they have finally wiped out nearly all of the aiptasia polyps.

I did not have luck with aptasia-x. What I did have success with was h202. I had a syringe filled with h202 (don't exceed more than 1ml per 10 gallons.) While the aptasia was open I'd stick the syringe right into the mouth down a bit into it's stem and inject 100% toast. Took some time because of the h202 limit per day but within a week you should be good.

I'm going to have to get some myself!

I've heard of Reeftown in Boynton Beach and Salty Underground, though Salty Underground is in Missouri.

Thanks! Lucky me, he's only about 45 min away and I'll have them by next week. I'll post follow up results

Thanks for the tip. Down the road if I see a single head pop up I'll try the juice
