Not the best, there's no "best" way, I've found. Joe's Juice works wonders for me, and does squat for the next person. My pep's, although I never saw it, rid my tank of everything that the Joe's couldn't reach, and now they're just wicked cool.

It's depend on how big is your rock.. I am always having fun with killing those thing.. I let the stupid Aiptisia pop out from the hole and quickly remove the rock from the water so that stupid thing won't retreat back to the hole. Then I use super hot distilled water with vinegar and microwave it for 1 min.. distilled water will be mostly far above boiling point I inject the thing with it and it melt and bubbling =) ..then use old tooth brush to brush it off from the rock and rinse it couple of time with old tank water .. I usually wait until when I do water change or cleaning the tank then will hunting down those nasty animal

How much of your rock is covered with them? If a lot, you may want to try waiting it out, but again - the reef business is full of mixed results, honestly. Either way, good luck

i can only spot 2 on the same rock. and i've been reading a lot of mixed comments about them. some people are saying they die off after awhile. others say they sting everything even you and leave rashes/swelling. some others say they have them and they don't bother anything in their tank...maybe i'll get a buddy to touch it and see what happens haha. i dont know what i want to do with it yet. thanks for that link though. some good reading. any other suggestions guys?

i'm not sure if this is normal, but i just got my light today and when i have it on, i can see a bunch of little particles floating around in the water. is this normal? it makes my water look constantly dirty almost. i have it as an "open top" tank. is that what could be contributing to this? if anybody has any ideas, please let me know
thanks!i'm running: - about 15-20lbs of live rock that was in an established tank before i got it. - rio nano skimmer - maxijet 400 powerhead - current USA 80W 50/50 power compact. p.s. tank is now about 2 1/2 weeks old.

Copied post over to this and found most of my Q's ansered.
What salt did you use and what are your mesurments at? It the water out of the older tank or is it new water? How much skimmate are you getting?

salinity's about 1.024, ph was 8.1 last time i measured it (few days ago), the water i'm using is out of my friend's tank (changed on monday). i do water changes (about 50%) weekly. i rarely have to empty the skimmate from my skimmer but that's only beacuse the catch bottle is massive. i get about 50-100ml in a week? give or take some.
