that will work, but what prevents it from working are excuses not the actual application he he
there are 24 reasons a reef tank owner secretly wants to keep their aiptasia, even though they're posting they do not. we will know in 24 hours or so if you had any such reasoning cuz that above will fix it. if you still have the polyp in 24 hours then the reasons to keep it won out. and there are at least 24 its why we don't have many entrants yet, in a thread where aiptasia cannot survive. we actually enjoy ridding tanks of it, but we can't pry it loose from the keepers hands. they want to keep the aiptasia they want gone so badly, very tricky matter.
*scan nano-reef.com for aiptasia issues in the pico reef forum, specifically there. pico reefs are small, nobody has issues accessing a rock stack the size of your hand. excuses run low in fishbowl reefs for aiptasia removal, they actually remove them effectively because there's no room to share in a tiny reef.
pico reefs don't play by normal rules, hence the lack of any aiptasias for pages
but in big tankers world, you do everything but what surgically guarantees success. the chances a large tank owner will quadruple the aiptasia loading in two weeks is 99.9999% lol they want to keep them, Im telling you. its a psych thing not an anemone thing, excuses will always win out let me start the first one:
-my tank is too big I can't do that.
false, if I paid you fifty thousand dollars to run the method youd run it so thorough the rock would be bored out eight inches around the former footing. its a motivation thing.
-second most common reason large tank owners love their aiptasia:
you get to add more animals to your tank, increasing biodiversity/disease import and attain a no-work cure. Our way requires surgery and a flathead screwdriver conversely. large tank owners want work free fixes at all costs.
imagine handling dandelions by capping them w superglue, let's take the gloves off man. for once in human history, can we kill ur aiptasia yesterday? the tool you need is in your tool case just wipe it off lets go.
