The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread

Aiptasia are easy, those are majanos. Huge problem. All the injection techniques have a 60% kill ratio. If I could get them down to less than one hundred in there I would keep them that way by injecting them. Aiptasia has about a 98% injection kill rate and peppermint shrimp keep them controlled.
Lots of light and well balanced water makes things grow well. I have the two 400w 20K HIDs and two 80w daylight CFs in the hood. Also my setup is in a SW window corner. The lights are off in the middle of the day.
I only do water changes two or three times a year but I have the calcium reactor adding traces and the refugium and skimmer removing stuff so there is a cross flow of nutrients and waste. There is a big sack of charcoal in the refuguim.

While not the hardiest, Longnose Butterflies are really good for this.

But will they eat everything else? Why would they mess with these stinging little bastards if they could just chomp on a nice mushroom or xinia?
