I currently have an Evo 13.5 that’s been running for 6 months. It has 2 oscellaris clowns, 1 tailspot blenny, about 10-12 easy corals and 5 snails.
I recently noticed an aipstasia starting to grow at the foot of a Duncan coral (I didn’t know what it was and got it ID’d on R2R). I bought Frank’s F-aiptasia online to get rid of it and it should be here in a few days.
I’m setting up a 75 gallons tank and of course I don’t want any aiptasia to get transferred into it. So I’m now rethinking transferring the rocks and corals. I’m new to reefing (and Aiptasia) which is why I would like to get sound advice.
Do I transfer the rocks to the new tank or just leave them where they are ?
Should I remove the corals from their frags and glue them to new ones ? Should this be done systematically every time I get a new coral ?
Should I buy peppermint shrimps and let them do their job for a while (how long) before I transfer the rocks and corals in the new tank ?
Thanks for your input !
