Getting Rid of Apstasia, is there a chemical?

[timsedwards]

Hi guys,
I am at my witts end. I am fed up. I have tried calcium, hot water, with turkey basters and diabetic syringes. Does not work. They just multiply. There are loads in my tank now and they are growing all of the time. It is driving me crazy to the point I am thinking of quitting the hobby that is costing me more money than i can afford and so far getting nothing but diatoms, dead corals and apstasia.
My main question is, is there a chemical or something that will jsut get rid of the apstasia? And I cant get peppermint shrimps over here in UK before you say!
Please help!
Tim.

I was successful using Kalkwasser injected through a syringe. Then followed within minutes using a turkey baster to suck the remains out. Haven't had a problem since using this method.
If you have alot, you might need to remove the rocks one at a time and try to slow down the reproduction until it gets under control.
Good luck, try to hang in there, it is enjoyable once you get it where you like it
