Pm sent Chandler, and much appreciated! How are yours doing?

It would be wicked to get a couple colony's of these established on the island.. As they do tend to eat themselves to death by starvation!

Default aptasia

you have to make yourself a aptasia tank-if you are going to breed berghia pick up dane bergers book on breeding berghia-he has a lot of good ideas in there.i currently have a 30 gal aptasia tank running(12x10x40)which i abuse and feed every night.right now my berghia population is over 100 with about 60 egg strands,and am going to be setting up another aptasia tank.remember you have to feed the aptasia and abuse them at lights out for them to release their daughter cells
