Aipstasia Problem/ remedy for 12G nano

[Demonkegman]

I have a problem. an Aipstasia problem. Got 2 BIG ones in my nano, kid kinda liked them so no bother. now have 10 babies in one day. sh!t just got real. can't take out rocks... what can I do to fix it since it's a small tank. Should be easier right? I have a coral banded shrimp. 2 clarkii clowns and various corals. There a fish or shrimp i can get or the remover the best option? those nudis cool too? just get like one or two and place them directly on the problem rock?

Also where to get these things in Ontario. Jason can you help?

If you can find some peppermint shrimp that eat aips that should do it. I'm thinking of getting that electric zapper myself. Good luck!

I heard Phil and Rob won one at Macna I want to try it... although I've heard they grow back with the zapper. I added a bunch of berghias and have noticed progress but there still there. Hopefully they're not dead.

And after do a water change. Call me if you have additional questioned

At risk of sounding like I drank the kool-aid. Every chemical/supplement I have used by red sea has done exactly what it was supposed to. I'd try it.

Some fish will but will munch on your corals after.

I know you want to add some kicking livestock to take care of the situation but I'm gonna chime in...I always use a hypodermic needle filled with a supersaturated slurry of baking soda OR kalkwasser. Just inject it into the oral disc or if it retracts just inject the stalk. They wither and die...works like a charm.

Smother them in the slurry. It will stick if you hit the oral disc. It may seem like a lot of work but it takes care of the problem overnight.

You can also use joes juice. Works lime a charm for me. Smother them in the stuff and gone. Easy
