Looking for input on dealing with aiptasia breakouts in a cold tank.
Our 120G is currently kept at 65 degrees and is home to a single nautilus and a normal cleanup crew (various snails, hermits, brittle stars). We're getting an aiptasia boom however. I've added extra peppermints which are not getting the job done. I pulled them out spent $200 on a population of berghias which don't seem to be doing anything before.
With warmer tanks, I've never had a problem dealing with the aiptasias with either berghia or peppermints. I'm not sure if the cooler temperatures simply inhibit appetite while somehow letting the aiptasias flourish.
What does everyone else use? Should I just be more patient?
