Thanks for the suggestions. I do have 2 aiptasia eating filefish but they either occasionally miss one or are lazy. I think I have a peppermint shrimp or two in there as well although I rarely see them. I will try the superglue.
To kill an occasional aiptasia I first used Aiptasia X and when that became unavailable Aiptasia 1. Both are expensive and I don’t like the stirring requirement or consistency of the latter. Any other products (intended specifically for this purpose or not) that folks have had success with?
Thanks for the recommendation. I was thinking more of something that would just remove primarily the silt, not partially drain the sump. But I could use it and that would just be my water change.
Good morning. Does anyone have a recommendation for a gravel vacuum that works well. I just need to clean the silt out of my sump and it is too low to use suction hose.
I inadvertently knocked off this 7x5” head of coral today and am not going to try and reattach it. Broke off some of the tips but they grow back very quickly. I will hold on to it a few days in case someone with some room in their tank can use it. In Burlingame near 280.
The box housing the return and drain pipes in my tank are absolutely teeming with aptasia, but I almost never see one in my sump or display tank. I have an aptasia eating filefish in the display tank, but it of course could not eat aptasia in the sump. So I think either the 2 peppermint shrimp...
