Damnit...

They're in a quarantine tub in my basement with no light and currently no circulation. I think I'll just leave them in there like that for a while, and keep checking on them to see if they pop up again. I need to get a circulation pump or powerhead in there though

in 24 hrs its gonna stink like the sewer pipe just broke, you might as well just boil or bleach them now, I "forgot" about 30 lbs of rock in a brute can, when I opened it no words can explain lol, even Im not that stinky at my best!

Happy to report that after scrubing and re-curing all the infected LR, and targeting the few remaining Apstasia with Joe's Juice, the problem is now completely under control. There are no more than 4-6 Apstasia present at any one time, and every couple weeks I will go through and target them

I've heard that berghia's do a good job of feeding on them and will reproduce according to the level of food/aptasias.
