I'm sure people have been reading up on these. If someone has made one can you please put up a detailed design on them. Pretty simple minded when it comes to electricity and water. Better yet if you have made one I will buy it off of you. I'm sure you will have a waiting list.

I use that as well, they just come back. Looking for something thats not so messy and I hate looking at the bright white spots after applying it. I think i'm doing it thick enough it seems to plug up in my syringe all of the time. But when I turn on my pumps and PH's afterwards there is a huge "kalk snowstorm" that makes me a little nervous.

I guess something Like that might work if shock the aptadia out of water and I could probably make one out of a bug zapper or used disposable camera

Actually the zapping happens in the tank, you place your anode/ cathode on direct opposite sides of the Aiptasia and then hit the shock button for a second or two. It works well but I have no ambitions to hook the car battery up any time soon

.

The proper spelling of the word everyone has butchered is "Aiptasia".
The letter "D" doesn't belong.

HEY!! you better be using a GFCI or you will end up either dead or unconscious in your now flaming house with your fish laughing their fins off...until they realize the house is on fire!!! AND the "apatasha" will survive the whole ordeal to live another day...

FYI just kidding....
