I got the set up used, and the rock set in 50 gallon buckets with no light for a weeks waiting to set the tank up. Well everything is going well. The only complaint is that some poylps are taking over. They seam to be growing faster then the shrooms. Is there anyway to get rid of them? i use a turkey baster to get the shrooms loss, then just suck them up. This doesnt seam to work with the polyps..

Any ideas?

Poylps do grow fast but not that fast. You always need to give room for all coral and trimming will become a nessesity. But your description of some poylp isnt enough. DO you have a pic?

ive been having the same problem with my purple clove polyps they grow like weeds im lucky though because they seem to be growing along with my zoos with no problem but i think its going to be time to trade them in to the lfs for some credit
