So tell us about your system? Equipment, husbandry, etc :-)

[Bugger]

I set the tank up in Nov 2012 haven't really had the money to get everything together. The tank is infestested with Aptasia. I think I will be buying some of these to get rid of it.

[reeferfulton]

think your skimmer silencer should be mounted on top .otherwise it may fall in , then your pump would be pumping straight water and likely over flow .

[spit.fire]

Lol ya that's upside down

[Bugger]

No wonder it kept on falling off. I got rid of the silencer all together and used a Reverse osmosis canister as a silencer because it was to noisy

[Bugger]

I picked up a tunze led and a hydor ato both work fine but the tunze is not magnetic which kinda sucks

Got the all in one pellets running. The tank is slowly growing algae everywhere. I got a fox face but he dosen't touch most of the stuff. Hopefully the pellets correct the problem.

Lookin great bud

Maybe you could put up some kind of material on the outside of the back glass ?

I used some black waterproof material from Fanny's and attached it with velcro
Hides the cords and gives the tank some depth perception

Try adding a Peppermint Shrimp, I had one that helped me deal with a persistent Aiptasia problem. I was also using a syringe and Kalk or lemon juice to kill the big visible ones, but they kept coming back until I added a peppermint. Copperband Butterfly or Filefish would also help, but a peppermint shrimp is usually cheaper and more readily available. Just make sure you get a real peppermint and not a camel shrimp or something else similar looking.

Unfortunately you need a bunch of both peppermints & emerald crabs to work on your bubble algae & aiptasia. May have to choose between them & the scans to help rid the tank of the pests.
My peppermints finally cleaned all mine up, along with the help of my copperband.

[Bugger]

I have to many acans they will eat them. The emrald crabs are a good idea though

[Skimmer Juice]

for bubble algae you can get some electric blue hermits and some Halloween hermits , IMO Halloweens are the best reef custodian going , I have a few of each in my reef as well as my puffer tank . The only downside is the electric blues sometimes kill snails for the shell , but I removed all my snails for the hermits as they do a much better job of cleaning .

Almost. I got into "strong debates" with him too.
