Aiptasia killer..... Yeah,, okay..

[grknyer]

?? with the frag glue? really? have u done it and it works.. you take it out of the tank to do it?

Worked for me. I'm aiptasia free for a very long time. The very little aiptasia I had that was on my rocks and was in the crevices so I put a dab of glue on an ice cream stick and smeared it over the *%#s!!!

if your going to be taking the rock out of the tank you might as well put a cigar torch to it. that'll kill em too, good 45 seconds until the water inside the aptaisia is at a nice rolling boil, and then you know for sure it's gone and won't be spreading anywhere else.

I had them in 2 reef tanks one peppermint shrimp on each tank solved the problem in bonth tanks. Never had them anymore even after the shrimp died.
Take care

Tobin,
I have used pepermint shrimp with some good results as well as kalk paste. However, the best results with not a single F----- coming back was and still is with lemon juice. You inject a small amount (.5 ml)into the base/stem of the aptasia not the mouth. This works like a charm....The only downside is the itsy bitsy aptasia are hard to get to there stem/base but if you are patient and have a steady hand...this works every time.

hey tobin,
can you physically reach the aiptasia? aiptasia-x works fairly well. also hot water in a curve fine tip syringe. no you will not kill off the coral.....with a curve fine tip syringe and a steady hand. the key is to be able to reach the sob.
make you a deal, you help me set up my natureef denitrifier, i'll get rid of your aiptasia.

dont you wish rbtas and regular anemones were this hard to kill?

Once I get the fine tip syringe I'll try the hot water thing.. Setting up the denitrifier took me months in the beginning that's not an evn trade,,lol..

Yeah, right.. Any coral for that matter..

 

[Bertdog]

i can believe that berghias din't work . the reason for this is that there are so many testimonials on how they work(not here yet). I've been fighting this for some time now using just about everything mention here earlier with no result for the exception berghias . i was really hoping that this was the one. i hope you find a solution cause i could really use it. good luck
aptaisa breeder should be my new name
