    Fighting a losing battle, aiptasia explosion!!!!!

    Thanks everyone for your advice. I do not think most understand the extent of my aiptasia problem. I did buy berghias even though I am poor and they can not eat the little jerks fast enough. I will see how the peppermint shrimp work. Mainly I wanted to know if I start feeding my fish will the...

    Fighting a losing battle, aiptasia explosion!!!!!

    I have literally hundreds and I can not get to all of them. I would never be able to afford all the Aiptasia X it would take to kill them and when I used it before the explosion it did not work any better than the other methods. I still kill the monsters with kalk paste and I never poke them.

    Fighting a losing battle, aiptasia explosion!!!!!

    I hope some one can help me here with a few pieces of advice. My tank has been over run with aiptasia and I have tried almost everything . I have used Joe's Juice, Aiptasia X, kalk paste, berghias, and peppermint shrimp from a LFS. All have failed! I think the kalk paste made my situation go...

    Cat question.

    I found that the only way to introduce a new cat is have it in a shut room by itself for a few days to a week. Once your other cats start to play footsies under the door crack it open and let then see each other briefly. I did this numerous times during the day. They may still hiss when you let...

    Just Cracked My Acrylic.....

    I guess you could try the repair and fill it with water to see what happens, but it would always worry me if it was my tank. Good luck and let us know what you decide to do.

    Just Cracked My Acrylic.....

    Just from personal experience with working with acrylic there is a possibility if cracks that may start from the hole. Gluing a piece over it may work but if the crack runs through from another spot it may not hold. Stress cracks sometimes can not even be felt because the crack originates...

    Just Cracked My Acrylic.....

    Once you put water in the tank and it applies pressure to those cracks I do not see any way of making it secure. The cracks are just going to keep going and you will have a leak. IMO I would cut that panel off and try again, but you should sand down the joining surface areas because if it is not...

    found my cat drinking out of the tank!!!

    I have an open tank with five indoor cats and there is always cat hair floating on the top, never caused any issues. As for the cat drinking the saltwater, one of mine did that the other day and she actually jumped into the tank when she was a kitten. My tank is fine and so is my little terror...

    What is this?

    I did some research on past post and ophiura stated that some can do damage to coral but it is very rare. I guess if the multiply too fast there can be an issue.

    What is this?

    I thought there were two different kinds. One was okay while the other cause coral damage. Is that wrong?
