Get quality cured liverocks free from apitasia and pests....i always inspect the rocks and choose them myself....
Or cure them further when you bring them back by putting them in an empty pail for 3-4 days or more....all the pests and worms will come out....
a bit of lemon juice is enough to kill a thumb size apitasia...and will not hurt yr corals around it..i have just killed a few 2 days ago...use a syringe to target kill...spray right into the mouth...within mins...will close up and melt...
first week of cycling, dun one shot add a few fishes...esp the big ones....start off with one or 2 to get the cycling process going....and dose bacteria on 1st day and 2nd day...then one more time on 7th day, follow by 14th day....after one week, add the cleaners like snails, crabs....etc....2nd week and third week, dun stock up any fishes or livestocks....
