PizzaOven '25 Budget Build

Why? Worried about exploding population?

Yeah, I had an explosion a while back in my main tank (all of this rock came from that tank). I was feeding reef roids a couple times per week which I think contributed to the problem.

I have some in my display or at least did before I moved everything into a holding tank. I am not sure I'll move them back in given how quickly they can spread. I had a central rock that I still have no idea how they got onto (I think one detached and floated onto it) and even after scraping with a bush + peroxide I couldn't get it permanently gone.

They’re very stubborn and annoying. I did the following to get them under control:
Filter floss changed weekly
Added Bumblebee snails
Coral snow 1x per week
Feed fish small amounts with turkey baster, no broadcast feeding

I did the shotgun approach, which worked well over time.
