Aiptasia .... MY GOSH

So i was tank watching tonight and found out that the new batch of 2nd hand LR i got actually have aiptasia... ARRRRRRR.... I tried hard not to add peppermint shrimps in my tank because they will eat all my brown soft featherdusters, but looks like I do not have a choice but to buy them again... *sigh*.. those LR from cam were great b/c of all those little featherdusters... damn aiptasia....

Know where I can find cheap peppermint shrimps?

So many things to watch out for buying 2nd hand LR:
  • copper used
  • phosphate level in tank water
  • nitrate level in water
  • aiptasia
  • brown flat algae
  • avoid FOWLR LR
  • flat worms

Big shipment week

Seems like RR or perhaps NAFB might have shipment this weekend... gotta save up tons of $ to spend... too bad the 120G is not ready for primetime... waiting...
