This is pretty much what happened to me. Started with actual ocean rock and added some from other old systems. Stuff was popping out left and right, (mushrooms, feather dusters, tree coral, blue ridge, toadstool, coraline, and many different critters.. I was awestruck, I remember watching this green thing and another brown thing grow. Then there was 2. I was excited, the tank was growing everything I put in it. Then hurricane Irma(6 days no power and totally unprepared) killed 75% of tank and aiptaisia took over. I refuse to poison the tank and made it fight back to health. A year later, bergias took care of it. A handful survived and very slow to spread. Then Ian, last year. I was More prepared but still blew it. All sps died and triggered another aiptaisia outbreak. Many thousands this time. Again I refuse to poison my tank or start over, more bergias and copperband doing the work this time. 10 months in and its down to a couple hundred(I can see rock and sand again!!) The end is near, there is hope. (I'll try to find pics)
I hate YOU! lolDon't have aiptasia - never had aiptasia - had to live vicariously through all of you. Can I hate anyway?
