aptasia problem

[ded08221]

ok another aptasia question for all of you. i was in the process of destroying one about half an inch wide, when i realized there are a bunch of tiny ones all over. i have on pep and one cleaner shrimp in there as of right now. my tank is a 55. my bio load is a coral beauty, 2 bar goby's, firefish, 6-line wrasse, and a baby skunk clown. i have plenty of turbo's and a few margarita and nass snails. i know my bio load is maxed with fish. my ques is would it be to much to add 5 pep shrimp. they come in a 5 package deal is why.

I dont see a problem with adding thos guys to the tank. To tell you the truth I think you should save yourself some money and time and go for JOes juice. I recently used it on my aptasia problem and within minutes all the aptasia are are gone.

DIdnt hurt my coral banded. Ane he went through two treatments. I also shot it next to a sea squirt that an aptasia was next (almost right on) and I know it got on the sea squirt and the sea squirt is just fine. I think the shrimp death thing is a myth Check out this thread
