As I was informed before, aptashia in the overflow can be the reason for new aptashia growing in the display. That stated, help me figure out what to do in this situation.
In my overflow there is a fair few aptashia that need to be eradicated. To dificult to individually kill one at a time.
1. How long would I have to leave the water off in the display tank in order to dry out all the aptashia in the overflow. I would keep the power heads on (so the tank would still be receiving some flow), but I am wondering how long until an aptashia will dry out and die.
2. Rather then that, I could just fill the overflow with some type of liquid (Say lemon juice) and kill all of the aptashia that way. I can perform this task in such a way that no water will enter back into the tank, so i am not worried about that. It is just that I am wondering what liquid can use in a large amount to eradicate these pests.
Thanks All,
J.
