question...

My aiptasia problem has gotten out of hand. I've used joe's juice on them 3 times, and they have come back each time, now in even greater numbers. I have decided to give pepp shrimp a try, so how many should I get for a 55 gallon tank? (I was thinking maybe 4-5??) Thanks,

Get 3 to start , but make sure they are small. The smaller ones seem to eat more, feed your fish before adding the shrimp then starve the tank for a few days and the shrimp should handle the rest. Do not over feed your fish until the shrimp do their job ,or they will eat the food, and not the aptasia.
Good luck ,and post the results if you can.
