      Aptasia Solution Number 57 - SUCCESS

      So I ended up merging a couple systems and as per usual...cross contamination. Yes the clean rock I was sold has Aptasia.

      So I ended up with (3) Three Large Ones which I tried to inject lemon juice, Joe's Juice, running around with hypodermic needles...sigh. They are too deep and pretty embeded.

      SOLUTION: SHOP VAC

      Took a simple Milwaukee Shop Vac. Tapered down the hose to as narrow as I had laying around. Heated the hose in Hot Water to further narrow it.

      Then turn off the auto top off, set aside extra replacement water and vacuum those suckers out! Be ready to on/off quick, it is pulling water but it Works GREAT.

      I Might improve with a special tip that has a bit of a scraper, scrubber. OR a super strong Shop Vac.

      FYI

      I saw one pop up,literally curling from under. He is NEXT. I had three very large ones I already sucked up. Will try and get some pics but really, just as narrow as you can get that hose and controllable!
