I have a very large aptasia problem in my tank and i tryed joes juice but that doesnt seem to be helping and ideas?

I heard you can buy Kalkwasser and mix it with water to make a paste does that work? and is there any side effects if i need to use alot in my tank?

    I believe it was Marc (Melev) that put up an article a while back on using lye to kill em all... we tried it and it worked great. Takes a few times a some perseverence but it is worth the effort. It even works well on majano's... but you might have to sneak up on em so they dont see you coming
    Good Luck!

    i think the lime water and boiling water injection is aimed more toward manjano's. Peppermint shrimp are probably the cheapest natural route, berghia nudibranch is a excellent choice but the joes juice may kill them and im not sure how long it stays in the water plus aptasia is the only thing it eats so after the anem's are gone they will die off. Im not a big fan of adding chems to the water for killing stuff algae or pest

    Peppermint Shrimp +1. I discovered I have aiptasia in my sump... that explains why after my Peppermint shrimp died a few months ago they started to appear again in my display tank. Added 2 Peppermints and they were all gone in a few weeks (except those hiding in the sump, of course....).
