Anyone local have them in stock? If not anyone else interested in doing an order with me, thinking of getting 2...

Eric, are they for aptasia control? If so, I bought 6 for my 180 about 6 months ago and they never touched the aptasia, and I never sow them again. That was just my experience, maybe somebody else had better results.

Thanks Doug, might have to make a drive... Don't have many other options... Kalk paste just helps them spread, current peppermint just waits for fish food, and CBB is out of the question. Gonna have to risk it. Hopefully they are feeding them aptasia if they are successfully breeding them.

Just have to be fast about it to keep the water hot in hypo needle

You need to invest in about 4 peppermint shrimp before you try the nudi's. At least 1 or 2 of the peppermints will erradicate them.

Do not get Berghia's if you have Peppermint shrimp. The Peppermint will eat all of the Berghia's you put in.

Good to know! Thanks for the headsup!

Eric, I've always had good luck with pickling lime paste. I used it on the zoo frag you gave me. Worked like a charm. I just swished the frag to wash away the lime paste after splatting the aptasia with it. No zoo casualties, and you can see the aptasis "skeletons" swaying in the current.
