Aipstasia in my Sump

[Demonkegman]

So I noticed I have Aipstasia in my sump... Question, If it's in the sump, it will obviously get into the display right? or not necessarily? It does act as a filter right? keep it or kill it...

It will spread to ur display

Kill it. And start looking in ur display for more. If its in ur sump, there's prolly more in ur display.

 

[Demonkegman]

Aptasia x time!

Or you can do what I did and pop in some Peppermint shrimp into the DT, if the aiptasia pops up in the DT (from them being in the sump), the shrimp eat them. Never ending supply of food and happy peppermints! Seems to be working so far, when I spot a baby its gone within 24 hours.

it will find it's way into your DT, peppermint shrimp works unless you got wrasse's. klein butterfly fish worked well for me.

Ya peppermints since no fish down there. Get rid of them I'm still dealing with a gnarly outbreak.

+1 For the peppermints!

 

[Demonkegman]

[Wankel]

I have a McCoskers but hes been a wimp ever since he almost died in the back of my overflow.

 

[BeanMachine]

Melanurus in the sump?

 

[Reefcube29]

Melanurus will eat peppermints every time.

Melanurus will eat peppermints every time.
