I have had a aptasia boom lately, plus the Vermetid gastropod population is multiplying at a amazing rate. I have a lion fish that gets fed twice a week, and a blue cheek trigger that gets fed a small pinch of flake once a day. Xenia and a plate coral are the only corals in my tank with a couple of small colonies of palyothoa, 55g tank and a 25g refugium. I dont overfeed, nothing is left after the fish eat and have a good skimmer that produces gunk everyday. Also have lots of snails and hermits to clean up best they can. My water parameters are all excellent, even nitrate stays at >2. Algae problems in the tank are non-existant. Problem is I have a GIANT pod population in the tank and fuge. The fuge lights go off at the same time the main tank lights come on and every morning when this happens the tank gets flooded with tiny pods that come from the fuge. Is it possible that the aptasia and other critters in my tank are being overfed by the excessive pods that come from my fuge? I dont have enough coral that will feed on them, dont have any fish really that feed on them. The trigger really dosent seem to care when the pods flow into the tank as they are pretty small and he just hangs out at the corner of the tank waiting for me to feed him in the morning. At night looking with a flashlight there are little critters running everywhere around the rock and sand so what gives? I know that some nuisance critters like aptasia reproduce faster when there is excessive nutrients in the tank, overfeeding fish and such. What is the deal? Anyone have ideas or suggestions?
