    Yeah, it blows. I have seen people have success with the wand/zappers. Ive been wanting to get one from a local reefer, but things keep poping up or money keeps ending up tight. Imagine that lol

    LG has one of the aip zappers I think he was gonna rent it out. Maybe shoot him a PM and see if he can hook ya up.

    Have ya read up on Bergia nudibranches?

    I think it's be a neat idea for 3reef to maybe have someone buy some and then keep shipping them to other members once they do their job, After along time, I somehow have had a few popup lately. I know there are plenty of people on ehre that could use them;)

    More time than money? Spend the time and KILL THEM ALL NOW. I've only ever had a few, but the moment I see one, I hit it with Aiptasia X. See it again, hit it again. I check my frags closely, and only buy base rock.
