After a long and very unplesant breakup with my ex I am now in the process of resurecting the Biocube that had fallen into a very dismal state in my absence. That being said I now have a few problems that need to be dealt with, mainly a massive aptasia outbreak that has blow up to gargantuan proportions. I was considering getting a small copperband to battle the plague in the tank as my GBTA is no more :(

The major proble that I see at this point is the size that the copperband will reach. Being that it is a 29 gallon I know that eventually it will out grow the tank. What I was wondering is how fast does the average copperband grow? I ask because I have a larger system that I will most likely be setting up within the next year and a half that I can graduate it into. Would the butterfly grow too fast for my tank before then?
