Aquarium Advice Addict
This is continuing my aiptasia thread (ID?) because the topic has changed.
New question, so I was going to propane torch the aiptasia off of my live rock. But when I started counting, I counted 15 3" size ones. And over 99 littles. OMG. I can't torch the whole rock without killing everything. So I decided to pull all the live rock out and will leave it in las Vegas sun for two days to kill all the anemones... And everything else lol. Buhbye bristleworms!
Here's the thing. I replaced 25 pounds of live rock with 15 pounds live rock and about 10 pounds lace rock. The LFS gave them to me wrapped in wet newspaper. They said as long as the paper is wet, the rock will be ok. Well... Then came the traffic and detour, and if you've ever been to las Vegas... The horrible infrastructure and road work. 2 hours later made it home. Now the paper was still damp. But the rocks didn't look too wet. They felt cold and a little moist. But I don't know. I have no fish in the tank, just snails and sand that has been there for 1 year and full of other weird critters. Think I will be ok? May cycle im sure.
Attached was a pick of my infestation, now it's just the rock with no aiptasia.
