    Hey about the Aiptasia. Im a newbie and I'm sure you probably tried this already, but I bought my 87 lbs of liverock from craigslist. It arrived with a bunch of Aiptasia. I put 3 peppermint shrimp in. Within 2 days every last little piece was gone. They work wonders.

    Haha! Yea, if only that method worked the 3rd time i would praise you! :D I literally couldn't put my finger on a spot where an aiptasia would be there! It was quite insane! Just dont let it ever happen to you, thats all i have to say! The whole "rock drying out" thing was pretty much my very last resort!
