Rakie, have you tried the coral Essentials stuff yet? It seems to be very expensive

yes I've been using it for awhile, at least the Aminos. The aminos are amazing, they make a huge difference. Everything else is probably fine, but honestly the only huge notable difference I've seen is from their aminos. Most people I've convinced to use the aminos have great success with it.

Do you mind share where to get those? Might give a shoot after I’m done with acropower

eBay, and marine Depot are the only places I know of actually!

It's much more concentrated than acropower. Love their aminos, their Grow is also good but it's just their aminos and some trace.

So, had to setup the old 2.5g as a berghia holding tank. The smallest koralia they make is surprisingly too strong lol. I also had to buy live rock with aptasia on it from the LFS.

Sent those berghia over. I have a sump overflow section that is full of aiptasia.
I would send you the sump, but...

I had a 110 mile round trip to pickup about 150 aiptasia. I also went a few LFS to pickup some "bad rock" for the Aiptasia, which of course was not free LOL.

These are gorgeous.
Do they eat anything else than aiptasia?

Not that I know of. And they are voracious -- hard to keep them alive unless you have a huge supply of Aiptasia.
