I use my 29gallon as a quarantine tank for corals (mainly for ich and velvet). It has aiptasia. I changed plugs, epoxied over any areas I saw aiptasia, and dangit, still got it in the big tank. So growing berghias now to go into the big tank.Nice!, My QT is determined to ensure i do not transfer any of my old Aiptasia to my new system. I think I can do it since I am removing the plugs and have a dope inspection station. In case all this fails I too will setup a separate tank and breed Berghias bc once they are in my big tank its just finding a long term natural predator.
Plan is to increase numbers in the 29gallon. Then when the rock is looking clear (that I know the berghias are working), transfer the rock to several areas of the 500 (inclding the sump) and see how it goes. Trying to avoid fish I dont want long term (copperband and filefish), and I keep the wrasses well fed (I dont notice them hunting the rocks at all). Ill keep everybody posted. Plan on putting the good and bad on here.Will you able to keep the alive and away from all those wrasses. My wrasses would eat them before they got to the apitasia. Copperband is the only thing that worked for me.
The weight is nice for moving it. We used 6 people to put a 500 gallon in place (that aint happening with glass). I dont have to worry about busted seams like so many glass failure threads on here. Clarity is very good. Yes I do uave some scratches, which is acrylic's downfall, but at least I can buff those out unlike glass. I have also heard of a few in tank polish kits that dont require you to drain the tank to polish it. So absolutely Id buy another again.nice tank and fish.
how do you like having an acrylic tank? I had a 240 years ago. I was really new to reefing. anyway I am loosely thinking of a large tank for a FOWLR system and like the weight of acrylic over glass.
would you buy one again?
ThanksAcrylic.or bust
