I've been breeding nudibranches, I have a queue but can help you out. You probably can't use that and F-aiptasia at the same time in a small tank like yours since the nudis will get nuked.

As for the dinos, try adding some bacteria. I never went through a dino phase in either my 32 gallon display or my 10g backup tank, but for whatever reason I had them in both of my 2.5 gallons I set up in December for nudibranch breeding. Just adding microbacter 7 didn't help, but I had Aquaforest Life Bio (bacteria socked media rocks) which I added in a media bag and Aquaforest Life Source and it got rid of the dinos in a week.

Little caveat on the Aquaforest Life source, it has black sand pieces in it which are magnetic. Since I didn't want that in the tank, I bought a powerful magnet on Amazon and then put the Life source in a small cup with tank water to thin it out and then use the magnet to keep the pieces in the cup and pour the rest in the tank.

Thanks buddy that’s very helpful. I think I’ll give that bacteria a go. That’s the first I’ve heard of it. I added 4 nudis maybe 5 months back. I’m guessing they’re dead. Haven’t seen them and aiptasia is worse. I don’t want to keep throwing $100 worth of nudibranches in if I don’t know if they’ll make it again or do any damage. Leaning towards throwing some peppermint shrimp in currently.

I don’t know, my current plan is to turn the 2nd little tank into a frag tank. Get rid of all of the rock work and really hammer down on the aiptasia. I may just go FOWLR with my main display.

@Thuan ! Hello. Still using that food. Heck I think i still have 7/8ths of the container left and I use it daily. Thanks!

 

[woodyarmadillo]

Man I kinda miss you guys.

@billyocean I’m assuming you’ve got that new tank setup. Pics if you got them?

Of course if I get this tank back up and going good and I decide to get out. I’ll hook the people that have helped me out up.

@Kasrift. Got a lot of nice zoas still thriving. Will send pics sometime. I’ve mostly just lost all of my torches and hammers. The stratospheres are going strong, carebears and the meat are going strong.

Hello. Fish likes it ? I have more if you need it. If you need peppermint for your aiptasia, I can have my friend send some.

I am doing great on food thanks though. Hey I would love some peppermints though. I will definitely pay for them no matter what you tell me.

 

[Thuan]

@woodyarmadillo . I got music from @Kasrift and never saw any of them. I don't know if its the nudis or the pepermints. I got huge aiptaisa in my 180g, after I put in 17 peppermints, everything was gone in like a week.

 

[woodyarmadillo]

@Kasrift s singing must’ve killed all of the aiptasia.

Pm me your address again, I'll text my friend tomorrow and have it set up. He always send me the largest ones. How big is your tank

14 gallons. I should need many.

 

[Thuan]

14 gallons. I should need many.

OK. I got you... Are you overrun with aiptaisa?. I tried boiling water, lime/lemon juice, palm pasye, glue gel, aiptaisa x. Nothing worked. They just came back more. But I can't even find one now

For the dinos I had last year I used a regiment of hydrogen peroxide and MB7 dosing. Worked for me but ymmv based on the type of dinos. This was the regiment:

I meant to say shouldn’t need many sorry

And yes over run they are everywhere!

If they don’t work let me know I have a friend breeding nudis and just gave him some aptasia to feed them so he owes me. Be happy to send some.

 

[Zero_Cool]

Good morning all.

I texted my friend. Earliest he can ship is Wed/Thursday. I'll let you know as soon as he confirms. I'm calling in a favor. I'm sending you 10. It should work.
