Default aiptasia

Sorry Dragon Slayer, I guess it just flew by.

From previous message:
Quote:
Lowering PH or raising HIGH temperature should not matter if it is being
done in a "Holding Tank" or somehting. If you have other critter in there
together, then that is another story.
Do you notice the last sentence?

Quote:
Then you will need to specific target it to avoid killing those you do want.
During this battle, do some water changes.
Do you notices the first sentence? The second sentence is just a precaution
by using doing water changes. Any hitchhiker or critter that occupy the LR,
may or may not survive with those stress condition by using vingar or any
changes.

O.K. Cap, I'm typing this really slow so you can grasp it................

ready............

the viniger is injected into the aptasia, not added directly to the tank.
if you inject a couple thousand in a tank (even a QT) the ph WILL drop.
this WILL kill things living in the tank as well as on/in the live rock.

Please read above first quote. If just the ROCK just have Aiptasia only and
thing else, then yes. But if there are some critter that you do not want to
kill, then of course you do not mass kill everything with vinigar.

no need for water changes, just dont put 50ml of viniger in a 10 gallon.
a little now and then will disipate and no ill effects.

[/snip]
50ml in 10G, maybe. Depend on what you have with the LR. I would try to cure
the LR while trying to kill Aiptasia (in this case).

You do not want to cause other critter stress except for those you want to
get rid of.

the hot water trick i honestly cant see rising your tank temp any
significiant amount regardless of how many you inject. a cup will inject
many hundred of the little *&%$#'s.

[/snip]
Hot water treatment for Aiptasia, it may or may not work.

did i type that slow enough?


[/snip]
Sorry, I did not catch that. Proabably not slow enough. Heehehe.
