Aiptasia

[TRIGGERMAN]

I know there is all different ways to kill aiptasia but I was going to try the syringe and kalkwasser method. I have syringes and needles. Do you use the syringe w/ the needle or just the actual syringe? How much do you inject? I think it's just a little blob right?

Anyone have a majano wand and want to lend it to me or come by and help me zap the lil bastards? I'll give a frag of something nice

 

[E.intheC]

You can use the needle if you want. Just make the kalk into a thick paste and put a blob over each one. The only other tip I have is not to get too much kalk paste into the tank at once and you'll be fine

 

[noelskii]

you gotta make sure you get it in it's mouth and other people also suggest to nuke the crevice where it is coming out from...

does the frag come with or without the nice aiptasia also? :scratchch

 

[STHILL]

Why do you wanna do it that way? I used copperband in my work tank and peppermint shrimp in my other tank and they worked great

 

[Long-Island-Mike]

Hi Triggerman, I have a majano wand if you want to borrow it. Drop me a PM and we can work it out.

STHILL, do you have a anemone in your tank? I have been looking to add a copperband, I just thought they picked at anemones.

yes aiptasias are free with any frag purchase lol

I know i have to get it in the mouth, was just curious if people do it with or without the needle

I have a file fish that just finished eating them all that you can borrow until your done...lmk

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

sounds good I gotta come visit you anyway it's been a while. Is it at your house or office?

Good luck with the aiptasias. Although people have success with these methods. I found that none really worked for me. I had to remove the LR and cook it. As far as your question
the kalk needs to be thick and may not come out the end of the needle. Give it a try both ways.

I put a file fish in my tank to get rid of them. i never have seen the fish eat one, but a couple of weeks later i cant find a single one. if we can get him out of the tank your more than welcome to borrow him. i think he will be easy to get out, he's very slow.

 

[motortrendz]

when i used the needels i had to use atleast an 18g or it wouldnt come through the tip, i made sure i got it in the crevice where the retracted to as well.. make sure u rinse the needle and pin after or itlle dry out and be useless.. good luck

file fish for $12

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

file fish for $12

Thanks I'm not going to jersey for a $12 fish though lol It would cost me 5 times that in gas and tolls alone. I'm going to borrow Jarrett's and if that doesn't work I'm going to use Mike's majano wand.

Thanks for the replies everyone

 

[roc5288]

Linda c . Is the one looking for them.

 

[Jakef150]

I have pep mint that ate all of it.

ALSO i used PURE lemon juice, it works for me

JAke

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

Thanks jake I actually was just thinking about that as well and the amino acids and vitamin c in it would actually be good for the tank lol. I'm going to get Jarrett's file fish and a few peppermints and give it a try. If that doesn't work majano wand and or lemon juice. Again thanks everyone for the input/offers I appreciate it!
