pheallox Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I had a 1.5 gallon majano tank until the heater killed them all it was so nice......so why not aipstasia. Link to comment
dshnarw Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I was at a place in Hawaii that had set up a reef tank, like 75g. They overtook the tank, and were left to themselves for a few years. Actually ended up being a very nice tank - one of the most interesting displays I've ever seen. Link to comment
musho3210 Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 well an apstasia is easy to take care of, great way to start a pico with something easy to take care of, and does it pose any threat to my livestock? no there is no livestock lol. Link to comment
Fanof49ASU Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 What do you want to bet, whoever sets this up...has trouble getting them to reproduce?! Murphy's Law. Link to comment

Fanof49ASU Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 naaah ... Just throw a little hot water at them jus' enough to pis 'em off real bad I injected lemon juice in mine last week. They disappeared immediately.....now they're back. A little bit smaller, and possibly a more deformed shape.....but they're back nonetheless. Link to comment
theimpulsive1 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 It's possible. Aiptasia is actually very good at filtering water (much like clams). I have heard of people using them as natural filters. They are also pretty cool little creatures. cheers! -Britt Link to comment
