High Tide Aquatics

Rygh's 250 gallon - rev.2

Here are some pictures of the problem. You can see how the Majanos are winning against some corals.

I did some math.
Seems like an average of 3 per square inch.
Ranges randomly from 1-8, so really a rough guess.
Seems like about 16 square feet of surface that at least has some.
Exposed rocks, some of the bottom, some of the sides, DT+sump.

Which means I have around 7,000 of them.
:eek:
 
Time to get a gallon of vinegar and a hypodermic needle and get started. Say 50ml a day. It would be like carbon dosing with the added benefit of Majano death.
 
Where will you put the huge holding tank? Fortunately you have a large garage and summer is coming. Your area doesn’t get that hot if I remember.

Yeah, I have tried really going at them with various chemicals.
It works of course.
But they just grow back like crazy.

The problem : Math.

Lets say each one spawns off a baby once every 6 months.
(I really have no idea)
That is still 40 new ones every day.

I can save a lot of corals though.
Majanos do not grow on active corals.
So all softies +Sticks are fine if I simply cut them at the base.
Encrusting and chalices are a problem though. Mostly need to just frag those.
