Hello!! Newbie to SDR and fairly new to reef tanks.

Welcome to sdr and great start on the reef!!!!

Welcome to sdr, this is a great community with lots of info and can be a great resource...especially as you're starting out!

Here's my 2¢ on dealing with aips

So AipX is a good thing to have on hand for the random nem that pops up on a new frag or something, kalk paste works well too. Nudis are awesome but they can get costly depending on what size tank you have and how many you have to add before they start breading. Filefish are good...As long as they have the taste for pest nems and not your corals (I also feel like they can't get into the tiny crevices in a lot of liverocks to eat the whole thing so you need to always have the fish to keep the nems at bay). Same goes for cbb but as already noted above they can be less hardy.

But I have to say hands down, my favourite choice is peppermint shrimp. Now just like the filefish, not all of them have the taste for aips. What I do is get a couple shrimp from two or three places (meaning more than one shrimp from more than one place), that way if one batch doesn't like eating them hopefully the others will.

Your system looks like you'd be ok zapping them with aipX or adding peppermint shrimp

Good luck and again welcome to sdr!

I used aptasia x. Worked really well and didn't hurt the corals.

WELCOME!
My tank is 60g. I took care of my aiptasia problem with a little aipasia x. (carefull using around other coral) and bought 3 peppermint shrimps. My tank has been aiptasia free since then and still have 2/3 shrimps in my tank.

If it's just a few, take some coral putty, flatten into a disc & smother those sons of bee hives!!'

The putty used to attach corals to rocks

Ooh!!! Would that get rid of them? And would it look funny on top of the rock?

After a while it will blend in with the rocks

Aptasia X works great. Then spray the residue off with a turkey baster. Wait two hours. 20% water change. Gone.

Thank you so much everyone
