Aptasia Zapper - OMG!!!!

[arotbart]

Okay, so I was a bit skeptical...but it arrived yesterday and after I put the kids to bed and walked the dog, out it came!!!

The Aptasia Zapper!!!!!

Man, let me tell you...I didn't think I had an aptasia/manjano "Problem" per se, but I did not want to have one in the future...so, all I can say now is can you spell
L I Q U I F Y!!:hammer:!

holly molly....I had a couple of these buggers that turned from a baby into a momma, and were tucked away under some rock i could never get to....cest la vie'!!! took about 30 seconds and they were toast!!

I had a few growing on my 6" Maxima, and boom the clam didn't even know what was happening....

had i known about this forget about Aptasia X or joes juice, etc... no more worrying about the chemical hitting a coral next to the aptasia and burning it..

this device is for real....

After reading the first sentence it sounds like your dog had a ruff night of being zapped lol Im glad you posted this, I dont have any ATM but its nice to no this is a working product.

 

[Troylee]

Well your last statement is false... You are actually creating chlorine iirc....

 

[arotbart]

Technically true...but, i think, better alternative than having unknown white liquified junk dribbling on monti frag and burning it up....at least the chlorine bubbles to the surface......

 

[Troylee]

Agreed..... I'm still at a loss about them personally... I see people love them and the next guy say it makes them spread in 2 months you can't control them..:cry: but thanks for sharing you exp thus far... Keep us updated if they come back or not..

 

[ToXIc]

wait till the spores you've created spread..
iirc from reading some reviews

 

[Troylee]

^^^^ that's what I read also.... Hoping he stays with this thread and updates us....

 

[ToXIc]

but i agree is an awesome instant gratification... but the long run isnt worth it..

just train a CBB..

Key to using it is to ensure you don't let the aptasia have enough tissue left to release any planula. I keep zapping them until they are nothing but white mush and come off the rock.

^^^^This what I do^^^^^
also I suck Out as much as I can.
But you'll just have to zap mj, unwanted mushroom and polyp/zoa one time for about a Minute.

 

[arotbart]

yea...they are gonna spread no matter what this device, chemical, biological, what ever type of control one chooses.

Dito to post above...I zapped each one for at least a minute...the bigger ones even longer...until they literally melted off the rock and you couldn't tell what it was but a bunch of tissue covered in those cholrine bubbles. I dropped some peppermint shrimp in last week and they didn't touch the aptasia...same with a copper band...was not interested at all....

I have bergias too, but they take a looooong time to colonize.....

I will keep the thread updated for sure....

Well this can happen with pretty much any way you try to kill them.

So what about boiling some ro/di and injecting them with a syringe? Does this work?
