......... it seem you were supposed to raise tank temp, keep lights out, turn off skimmer and reove any carbon...sounded like a pain. Very glad to hear you can shoot'em up. Much better. :apimp:

Sounds more like a treatment for flatworms or red slime. I've never heard of a full tank treatment for Aiptasia, other than peppermint shrimp with a taste for Aiptasia.

I think I'm going to try the boiling water technique as I only have a few right now, lets hope that takes care of it!

So glad to hear that. K'Plahch (success to you).

Ya, I just can't remember the product but saw someone doing it once, all I could do is watch?
About those shrimp, I have found that it seems to be individual tastes? My buddy had aptasia and got p shrimps...nothing...another friend got I think just 1 or 2 and they ate all aptasia in quick order. Same vendor, same p-shrimps.
I just seen it happen man, I don't think my pshrimps ate my aptaisia when I had it years back too.

Tried the boiling water and so far so good, took care of them right away! Lets hope they stay gone!!!

 

[rubyfrogs]

Blasted with boiling water. Seems to have worked for now. Lets hope it stays that way!:fingerx:

Everyone says they will but "mine" don't.

Same here i bought 5 of those suckers and they wont eat mine.. Starting to drive me crazy

I saw a lfs here that had a ten gallon tank full of aptasia. It was advertised at $2 per head..lol

Don't feed your tank (or feed VERY lightly if you must feed) while the peppermints are in there... I'm sure they don't "like" eating aptaisa and I'm sure they would rathetr have prep food but they eat the aptasia real quick if you aren't feeding the tank.

I might be asking a really dumb Q but what is a majano? And could someone post a pic of one please

 

[BigAl07]

It's a type of evil mean EVIL anemone

majano - Google Search

 

[1Reefer]

Lol that was easy enough..... guess I could have just googled it. Thanks again al! My next Q was going to be why are they so EVIL but I will go do some research and come back and ask if I can't find it on my own lol

 

[BigAl07]

Research will pay off BIG but they are nasty/mean/evil because someone told me that in an online forum LOL! J/K

 

[1Reefer]

Lolololol it seems like that's where some people get the advise they give (I'm also guilty of this but try not to repeat something I "heard" unless I KNOW it came from a reliable source)
