" Hey I just wanted to leave a quick testimonial. These nudibranches are awesome! I had a huge aiptasia problem in my
20gl reef and put 2 of them in. There was a noticable difference in a day. I mean you could count the number of aiptasia
go down. It was astounding! I was cheering them on. Thank you!!!" DynamiteManits
"I just got my nudibranchs through a friend on SDReefs. Acclimating them now. Great prices. Great Pest Control.
Thanks" Dan
"This is my 4th time participatinf in a group buy for these berghia's They are proven to be the only thing that works
in eradicating aiptasias. The previous group buys involved other vendors, but by far these nudi's are the biggest and
healthiest yet!" Wil Untalan
"So far, so good ... Bought a bunch of nudibranches from you and they were HUGE!! Thanks for the help! " Owner, Coral Obsessions
"Great vendor to deal with. Organized a group buy and wow is all i can say. The great prices and size for the berghia is well worth is. Had other group buys and the size of the berghia doesnt even come close to what RPS provided. I would say double to triple the size berghia. Would absolutely organize another group buy from RPS. A++ for you guys. " David Vu Joker295
"Aiptasia free for 4 months now! Had aiptasia infestation in a new 120g set-up from live rock. Added 3 berghia and was totally eradicated in 3-4weeks. Took them till the last week to eat the big ones, but they seemed to be gone overnight."

"Great Customer Service and great prices! Even gave me some free egg strands. Shipping and packaging was flawless. Will always be my first choice for berghia! - Daniel visiontech4
"Sorry, been lazy the last few days...been wanting to write a review for great service from Reef Pest Solutions. If anyone needs aiptasia, its almost impossible to find them locally. So I did a bit of research and found Reef Pest Solutions which supplied Berghia on another site's group buy. Everyone was really impressed with the size and quality of the berghia and shipment. So I decide to give RPS a try. So basically put up a post on ReefCentral and sent an email to RPS. Replies are super quick. $45 shipping. Free shipping at $250. Hard to beat that price, even if you have to pay for shipping. Bargain with free shipping. For the next couple of weeks. I got notification from RPS as people paid on paypal. I let RPS know ahead of time when I want to ship, and reconfirmed the day of. Of course...last minute (literally) people changed their orders. I told RPS not to sweat the changes and ship whatever he was comfortable with, he took care of them and EVERYONE in the GB got their stuff as ordered, even the last minute folks. Package arrived at work next day around noon. Wrapped in a thick styrofoam box with two huge heat packs. Box was left in room temp and heat packs removed. When I got the package home a couple of hours later, I inspected the Berghia, not one DOA, and almost everyone had one or two extra Berghia. Couple vials had egg trails on it. Sweeeet!! Package also had an extra vial with a few extras, just in case anything happened. Nothing happened so these went in my tank. Plus a pipette for you to gently transfer them right next to aiptasia in your tank. Quality of Berghia was great. Very active, healthy, fat guys. I've had the bad nudis (monti/zoa) in the past and these Berghia Nudi are gigantic in comparison. I threw a frag with a couple of aiptasia and these guys were eating them in less than a minute... Several people couldn't pick them up for 1-2 days. I did a 50/50 water change and these guys made it fine. RPS is shiznit. Thanks.

"Just finished acclimating them. I even fed the little guys a few baby aiptasia during acclimation and they gobblem 'em up. I think they should do nicely". Fryman 12/2012
" I did just acclimated them.They headed straight for the two aiptasia on my frag. Amazing... " Neuro 12/2012
" I put all the nudies on a zoa colony and it looks like at least 3 of them are already eating aptasia" PlanetQ 12/2012
"Well, I just tried RPS All out for a minor infestation of red bugs. My advice, be careful, it's definitely quite toxicto amphipods! After a 15 min dip of about 20 small frags at the concentration specified in the directions, I rinsed the frags for several min. in fresh ASW, then put them back into the main tank. Within a few minutes, I noticed amphipods crawling on rocks in the open and swimming in the water (i.e., strange behaviors). I stated doing a 25% waterchangeatthatpoint. I then notice my small acro crab dead (he was on a larger coralthatwas not dipped). Then, it was clear my cleaner shrimp was near death, so I've pulled him out into some fresh ASW, but it's not clear if he is going to make it. Unfortunately, I don't have any carbon on hand to run (but RPS does recommend running carbon on main tank after returning treated corals, which is something you definitely want to do). There could have only been a trace amount of RPS All Out that got carried in the DT, but it is clear it that it is extremely toxic to members of Amphipoda." THERMOJOE www.reefcentral.com
"I had AEFW in our 180 gallon reef. We were seeing lots of damaged corals and had a couple perish entirely. I finally said enough is enough and broke down and started pulling all the colonies out and dipping them in RPS All Out. The worms dropped off as advertised and we have not had any sign off them since. This was approximately 6 weeks ago or so. I'm sorry but i did not take any pictures or video of the death nor did I have a microscope on hand to check the eggs. I have reinspected and not found any evidence of the worms. Just my .02" EWW www.reefcentral.com
"I got some. It kills AEFW very quickly most were floating in seconds, after 15 mins I don't think any could have been living still. It's gentle on my corals I was able to dip hawkins, tenallas, and other smooth corals. While I didn't spot any eggs some of the pieces were heavily infected so I'm just going to have to wait to see if they get reinfected. I wish the bottle was a bit bigger as I have some larger colonies that needed to be dipped in a 2.5 gallon bucket so it took a lot of solution, but on the plus side there were frags of corals that broke off from the first batch that I dipped that sat in and survived the dip for over an hour. Very happy with it. The biggest fear I had with revive and other methods was dipping delicate corals. I wouldn't hesitate dipping any acro with this (from my tests so far..well maybe belina but you can't even look at those wrong)" MAMMOTHREEFER www.reefcentral.com
"Well I just used the dip. I placed a nice big stag which clearly had flatworms on it and they all died as expected from a dip. Nothing happens to the rest of my system and everything looks fine. I can't say if the eggs were killed or not since I didn't really see any. I will say the dip does a better job at killing the flatworm not just stunning it like other dips do. I think I will put down the bayor for a while and use this more often." KARSSEBOOM www.reefcentral.com
"You've heard about it...The buzz is real, and the product is great. We've been testing Reef Pest Solutions "All Out" coral dip in our daily operations for some time, and we are thrilled with the results. it readily wipes out flatworms, nudibranchs, red bugs, etc. It's effective, easy to use, and gentle enough for almost any coral. If you follow the manufacturer's instructions, this stuff is incredibly effective, and has proven to not only kill most pests, but it also kills the eggs of pests! This stuff apparently is very easily absorbed into the tissues of soft corals (which can certainly assist in killing eggs), and the material will ultimately leach back out of the coral tissues into the environment, so you probably don't want to risk anything being released into the main display. The neat thing about this product is that the manufacturer stated to me that you could overdose by up to 4 times the recommended dosage without harm to the corals. The color changes when the oxidizer is dissolved, an indication that the product is no longer effective...this process can take up to two hours, depending upon how many corals are in the dipping container.We use the stuff in our daily operations with newly received corals, and are pretty confident that it has done what the manufacturer says it will do.
Zoas do particularly well with this stuff. As you know, zoas are notorious for carrying all sorts of nasty pests, and this product will really work nicely with them. I have seen a number of occasions when newly-received zoas stay completely open during the dip process, with seemingly no discomfort or reaction at all...Then you see all of the dead stuff in the dip water...yuck! All in all, we are very pleased with this product, and would not offer it to our clients if we didn't feel it was legitimate, effective and safe to use. It is being embraced by many of our fellow vendors, public aquariums, and some research facilities...We feel it's going to be a product with global reach soon....and it's available NOW on the Unique Corals website!While NO product is 100% effective all the time, we are liking what we see thus far. Even a great product like this is no substitute for observation and quarantine. There are no quick fixes or miracle cures, and anyone looking for them should consider another hobby (stamp collecting or something, maybe?). But if you embrace a dip and quarantine protocol, this is an excellent product to work with! " Regards

"This stuff is awesome. Killed all the AEFW almost instantly!! Time will tell if it killed the eggs but i am confident that I wont see any problems. " kurt
"Great job on the packaging! I really like the bottle verses the bags" Jamie
" Most of us talk all day about our bad experiences, but it’s not that often that a company is such a good experience we feel inclined to say something. Reef pest solutions is one such excellent company. Their natural approach to pest problems, and the quality of customer service seems likely to guide and advance our hobby in the years to come. I personally had a great buying experience, and was pleased with the way they were shipped, as the bottles they use are easier to deal with than the common livestock bags. Using the jars also takes the fear of crushing our little charges before even getting them in our tanks. My new slugs could not have been more healthy than they were when they arrived, and were eager to eat and lay right out of the jar. I will be trying many more of their products, and want to think them for providing new standards of excellence in the industry, that hopefully will inspire other companies towards striving for the same.
Thank Reef Pest Solutions" Kimberlee Corey
