something to kill apstasia

[hurley]

i have one large apstasia on my rock and i want to destroy it before it multiplies. what should, or can i use to get rid ofit thats available in calgary?

Buy a needle from the pharmacy, fill it with lemon juice and pretend it's Ann Coulter. That'll do the trick. Worked for me ;)

[hurley]

so you actually stab the apstasia? or just squirt the juice at it?

I've used an old 1ml syringe that came with a Salifert test kit to inject kalk into them. Stick in it's mouth if possible.

Peppermint shrimp. Toss him in and tell him to get Trudeau!!

just gave it a nice shot of lemon juice, see if it comes back out

I think golds has some peps in. they do a good job at ridding aptasia

Golds also has Taylored Aquatics Aiptasia Destroyer.

I picked up some pepermint shrimp at Ocean City a couple weeks ago.

Don't hold your breath on peppermint shrimp. They do not touch aiptasia in my tank. Anyone I've spoken with agrees it is a hit and miss on whether they will eat it. I am waiting for an order of bergia nudis.

turkey baister/boiling hot water.....worked for me a couple times....but you may have to do it for a couple days, and obviously watch not to directly hit surrounding corals/inverts.
