Ran out of Tim’s one & only today so the tank is on its own now. Had some aiptasia in the chaeto so I hand caught a peppermint to rid the DT of one small aiptasia and pulled the ones I could find in the chaeto by hand. By next morning the small aiptasia in the DT was gone and confirmed that this evening as well. All corals are looking great and starting to see a few new heads on some zoas! I’ll update price from peppermint tomorrow.
Do you have some pics? I can’t tell for sure but do you have an overflow? It looks like you have a bulkhead with a strainer I the back of the tank? The full siphon is super quiet but does vary the depth inside an overflow a bit. It’s also kinda dangerous if you don’t have an emergency drain.

Last night at 10:30 I checked the tank out and the water was swarming with something I’d never seen before.... free swimming hydroids. No idea how I got them in the tank but I stayed up till 12:30 researching and didn’t find anything to cure the issue that wouldn’t harm coral and copepod population. I couldn’t get a pic but I’m not exaggerating when I say that they were everywhere. My clownfish were trying to eat them and the short polyp torch looked PO’d. Really scared to go down and look at the tank this morning. I’ve had filter media since I put this tank together so I’m thinking I’m going to put it in the overflow section to the return pump and try to manually remove as many as possible changing it out every two days and minimal feedings. Anyone else ever run into these things?
