This is great. I love it.

An acetylene torch whould work the same eh?

Heck if you had an oxy-acetylene torch, you could do it with the rock under water!!

not quite Acetylene will leave a soot deposit which might not be that good for the tank.

Good point. I guess oxygen-hydrogen torches are out of our price range ;)

haha! that's hilarious!

I've also thought, what if you were to smother the little buggers one by one with 2 part epoxy? just erase them? :)

would solve not being able to take the rock out of the water.

and you just break off the epoxy from the rock a few months later if you don't like it being there.

Tried that. It's almost impossible to smother those stupid animals.

Some people can't keep peppermints, eg. people who keeps ric's or triggers.

This is like the last thing I'd ever buy to control Aiptasia. Too difficult for most people and a flat out mistake for anyone with less than 72 gallons of water.

But yeah, solutions to Aiptasia come in all forms. Personally, I use psychic laser beams.

why is it the last thing you would buy. I have a 120g
