I heard about new England aquarium services in biddeford and how they're breeding berghias, I know some people have already visited and I was wondering if they are selling them to the public? Ive tried emailing and they haven't responded. My tank has been overrun by aiptasia and I've tried everything over the years but they always come back so I really wanted to try the nudibranches

I don't believe they are right now, might be wrong.

He doesn't have any right now but he plans to breed soon. He is supposed to be getting an electronic aptasia remember. He said he hasn't tried it out yet but basically what you do is you put the probe right to the aptasia and push a button and it zaps it. Like I said he hasn't tried it out yet because he hasn't received it yet but he plans to rent it out for $5 for club members when he gets it in. If you call him and tell him you're from maine frag swap he will show you around and give you a tour and he will put you on his list as a club member. Just make sure you call him or go to see him on a Saturday

The shrimp work IF they are true peps. I use, wait for it......pure salt. Pull rock, pile on salt, let sit ten or so minutes, rinse THOROUGHLY place back in tank. I have no brew ones, just old ones I haven't gotten to

I have no brew ones, just old ones I haven't gotten to Out of all the ideas I've ever tried I've never heard of that one. Sounds like a good idea I'm gonna try it. My last rock was so covered I finally broke down and boiled it  sucked but its Been a few months and haven't seen any signs of them and all the coralline and other life seeded back nicely Sent from my SCH-I535 using ProBoards |

oh no noooo! Dont ever boil rock!!! Some dude almost killed himself and his dog boiling rock. It had some zoas in it or something and when the guy boiled the rock, it released the toxins into the air. Too Dangerous!

I heard about that way back and I thoroughly checked the rock over before boiling |
