    I
    need some help with my Kenya tree coral. It is taking over my tank. I have
    given a lot to the local high schools and the local pet stores are not
    interested in them. I no longer have a rock scaping. It is a Kenya tree
    scaping. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.




    Thanks.

    In my personal opinion would be to get rid of it all. It just too hard to control. What I would do is get some kalk or pickling lime and make a paste, and start targeting them like you would do with Aptasia or mojano. I have used this method with mushrooms and Xenia when they started moving into areas of my tank that I didn't want them too.

    Pull them off and throw them away. Kalk the little stumps that some will leave when pulled that way they don't come back.

    I use a chainsaw to get rid of trees. This may or may not work on Kenya trees /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif

    Just watch your pH when using kalk paste.....do some every day, vs all of them in one day, or you may see a big spike in your pH.

    I have had the same trouble...they spread WAY too fast. The best advice I got was from Bill (fishbrain) which was to use cutters to take part of the rock at the base of the tree. So just pull / rip the tree and then cut into the rock a little way....works like a charm.
