Aptasia Attack

make sure that if you use aiptasia x, you slowly release some above them so they accept it, while moving closer to there oral cavity while releasing the solution slowly. check this out!!!!!


Unfortunately this guy just keeps coming back and ive X him twice!
Peppermints wont go near this big guy? Oh well ill keep trying!
LOL i really Blasted this guy! HA AH Dont know how he survived!

 

if ur ever in rochester i have a home made joes juice that will zap them in a heart beat and they wont come back LMK

 

Peppermints have always done a great job for me, never had one that didn't clean house in a matter of days. If they are Mojano anemones though, thats a different story.

 

Just got done watching your vid (cool BTW) and you definitely need to inject a lot slower and totally cover the nem with as much "X" as you can. I've noticed from my experience if the nem is large, if I didn't cover the entire mouth and even the tentacles, it would sometimes come back. Try that and let me know how it goes!

 

peppermint shrimp

I had a break out of these suckers when i was still a bit newbish (tech still am) anyway, between some good sized adults and their offspring i probably had 50 of these suckers in my 55g. Added 3 peppermint shrimp, one died pretty quick but the other two went to town on the apptasia. Took them about a week but i haven't seen one since! Both my shrimp died when i had a heater problem but haven't had them return so they musta got them all...

 

Peppermints worked for my also and i had a severe case. Tried the copperband and after a month traded him in for the peppermints and a few other things. Like other people have stated make sure they are real deal peppermints. There are many sold as but are not true peppermint shrimp. After they handle them they make sure they don't come back and they even get the little ones.

 

Salt corrosion cause electric shock into my tank from the heater, 55g. Was having an aptasia outbreak all over the tank, sand, filters electric shock got 'em all. But fishes, corals, inverts all survived. Extremely lucky....

 

I can inject the aptasia X right into my main tank? And it wont harm anything else??

 

I've used aiptasia x, it took care of the few anemones I had, and haven't seen any since. It's completely reef safe too.
