Bro Lightningstike is always prudent and resposible with his advises. He will always ensure that the advises he dishes out are correct to the T and not misunderstood. Thus, he was only double checking with the initiator of the post that what he/she spotted is really aiptasia rather than assuming. A senior that I respect!

SRC Member hotlemond Posted August 3, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 3, 2005 kalk paste are very effective, but they take forever if you have bunches of them. I tried that for the previous tank, the moment you feed on one and the paste stray off a little, the neighbours will know and close up and hide away. it will takes several days a least. Also, you can't be shooting endlessly without worrying about the PH rising. Some have use epoxy to seal thier hide-out. Easier I suppose, but no feedback were made as to thier returns. Squeezed lemon juice can work too If you can target the specific rocks they are at, you can boil them or replace with new rocks, but that's the last resort of cos. didn't have the chance to get my hands on peppermint, and I won't risk my LPS for a copperband. threadstarter, do up a pic search in the net, they are quite easy to identify anyway.

SRC Member AlfaRomeo Posted August 3, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 3, 2005 According to some ppl who have used it, Joe's Juice is perfect for fighting Aiptasia. The aiptasias do not retract when the juice is used and will disintegrate within minutes of consuming the product. No adverse effect on tank water parameters too. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
