I'm unable to answer the poll because it seems to be assuming that Aiptasia are, or have been, a problem.

I've had a few in my tank for 3 years now. I notice small ones popping up here and there over the years, but they rarely seem to survive.

To give some idea. I had one large one in my tank two years ago...now I have two. In fact, I haven't seen the second one for a few days now. It may have died.

If it isn't Aiptasia, it is an incredibly indistinguishable close relation. My tank is mainly SPS and I dose Kalk 24/7.

Of note, I also cannot keep Xenia...and have limited success with soft corals. My star polyps survive, but don't thrive. Something in there makes my tank not right for Aiptasia reproduction.
