WTB- Aiptaisia Covered Rocks

BeanMachine · 03/27/2013, 04:13 PM

I want to breed some berghia after reading an advance aquarist article rather than adding the ones I bought straight to my display tank.

I can pay you cash or trade you frags. As many aips as I can get apparently they eat ALOT.

Preferably in the OC area. Thank you!

What you should do is have a seperate aiptasia farm. Like a 20 gallon tank. And start off with a few rocks that have em and feed em like crazy so they multiply that way you have a endless supply of food. I'm sure your doing that but just wanted to letcha know

Thanks Brent that is the plan.

i had some but now only a few after putting in a Kleins butterfly and Copperband butterfly. i do have a bunch in the overflow that you can have. probably a few dozen.

Wow thanks hehe that would have been perfect but alas you are on opposite ends of the country... gives me inspiration though... how much do you feed to get that?

laverda · 03/29/2013, 02:52 AM

Cody I have way to many in my 240, ever since I had a heater failure 2 years ago. Your welcome to as many as you want.

Come to the 951-).

ashish · 04/01/2013, 07:47 PM

If you want a outbreak like i did!!!! It takes alot of hard work and prep. lol

First, scare the hell out of them so they release there larve. Feed them baby brime shrimp and ton's of coral food. They really thrive in high nutrient water.. skimmer less tank might be great.. Once you get to few hundred it's easy to get few 1000s. I wiped all my aiptasia out in 3 months. I have not had to use my Aiptasia X for over 5 weeks now so I am very proud to say they don't bother me anymore (at least a few don't).

BeanMachine · 04/21/2013, 02:36 PM

Mchava · 04/21/2013, 04:02 PM
