Kalk for Aptasia

[jonathon0883]

i have a huge aptasia that could eat my peppermint shrimp if it wanted to and i need to get rid of it. People have said to kalk it and i was just wondering on what kind to use and if there is a certain amount i should use on it. Its about the width of a golf ball and grabs flake food that floats by.

Word on the street is you mix it think as a paste.
Personaly I use HOT water and shoot it point blank 2-3 times and if you see it start to come back a day or two later do it again and that will do it. I'm batting 1000 with this trick.

yea i had that problem, they get huge and spread everywere, if big enoupf kill ur fish, so i went to my lfs and grabed some "reef kalkwasser" and a needle. just mix the kalkwasser with hot water, suck the mix up with the needle then stick and shoot, he'll be gone within 20 seconds and neva come back.. good luck
