Thank you for your work.Eveline says:
The salt worked great. I had a few that I bought in a local fishstore that had Scutariella japonica. At first I did not recognized it, until the white wiggly thingies started to develop between the eyes. Thank you so much for this article. Not only informative, but also a great solution for treatment.Priscilla Boardman says:
Thank you for a beautiful way to bring knowledge and beauty and hope.Mike A. Meadows says:
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).
