Very quick. I didn't add the live rock they were on til about the 1 month mark, and now at 4 months, it has taken over my tank. My nutrients were and are very high, so I think that is the main reason as to why they were able to take over so quick.
I don’t think it’s your fault at all. Aiptasia grows fast for everyone. They are very good at catching food from the water column.
Thanks Kev! My phone blew up... I just picked it up and saw 180 notifications!!! Thanks for reading through the entire thing, it sure is alot of work.
So many times I wanted to give you advice or encouragement but it was so long ago. You worked through it all like a champ. You had good support and really didn’t need my input anyway.
Do you have a doser or do you dose manually?
I dose manually as it's not a regular thing. Plus for a tank this small I won't have to do it often, and even then it will be very small amounts where it's easy for me to do myself. I only Dosed this because my alk was low because I skipped the waterchange last weekend as I am trying to reduce the WCs to 20% every other week.
That's good, I want to get to a point where I do 5g water changes once a week and since I'm 32 I would almost change all the water a month and that way I can keep everything more stable without dosing or just minimum
I also dose manually. I dose around 2ml of AFR every day for alk, which is a pretty small amount so I manually do it. If my mag or calc is way off too, I usually use BRS solutions to adjust. Since I've been keeping my nutrients up, I have also been doing water changes every two weeks just recently. Partly because I've been tight on time lol...
