    Yeah from now on any GSP or Xenia I add to any system will be isolated to their own rock in the sand bed. LOL :)

    Thanks man! I was worried about pods but the other night I saw swarms of them on the glass. He's the fattest fish in my system.

    Thanks!

    It definitely does the trick! The only concern I have is the aip's can possibly release gammets as a survival response to the treatment. The area I cleaned the first night has about a dozen babies growing on it today. Need some Berghia!

    Yeah that's why I was thinking of getting a peppermint or moving the one from the nano (I know it likes the stuff) but am afraid it'll end up food for the pistol shrimp or GSP(green spotted puffer) though I seriously doubt he'd actually go for it since it doesn't go after any other natural food items like my CUC.

    I've never had success with a single PS or even a pair of them. They always found other foods and never touched any of the young aip's when the problem started way back when. I've read you have to have a small herd of peppermints and they still may not eat the pests.

    Built my Aip Magic Eraser today and did some work in the mess that once once my 46. There's no harm to fish or coral, just the pest nems. Gave me a little "adult" excitement watching the lil' fockers fry. :devil1:

    All those Aip's and that's just one rock. That's the result of not using AipX or kalk paste correctly OR using them right just bad luck. I see a lot of carbon and a big w/c in my future.
