I learned of the Banded Butterfly (C.striatus) aiptasia control from the aquarists at the Cleveland Metro parks Zoo. They were using them in their greehnouse aquarium. Aquarist Nick Zarlinga was who showed me the damage they can do to aiptasia.Orlando Gonzalez says:
Hi Nice article. What is the difference between the "Orinoco altum" and the "Atabopo alum" I'm waiting for the juveniles to start coming into the wholesaler around September but would like to know if these are actually different strains. I usually pay $7 per fish with a nickel size body. ThanksLarry Leszczynski says:
I have been using this method very successfully. The soda lime will last much longer if the air has at least some humidity it. I live in Denver, Colorado where the air is very dry, and was using up media very quickly. The solution was to put another plastic jar, kept partially full of water, in front of the container of soda lime. Air enters the top of the jar through a short length of tubing that stops just above the water level (you can extend the tubing down into the water, but then it makes bubbling noises). Humidified air leaves the jar through a second piece of tubing that begins just above water level and goes into the input of the container of soda lime (do not extend that outgoing piece of tubing into the water, or you might suck water into the soda lime).Jeremy Sabatini says:
One issue that should be mentioned is that traditional soda lime will change back from violet to light yellow over time if not exposed to CO2. This color change back does not mean they will continue to to absorb CO2 and in the medical field the beads are changed out on regular intervals. In the veterinary world soda lime in changed out after 12 -14 hrs of use. There is a newer version that will not change back and can be a reliable indicator on when they need to be changed.Borja Marcos says:
