Omg It's Aptasia

[bmkj02]

I used peppermint shrimps and Joe's Juice to knock it out. I had well more then 50 in my 55g. I used the Juice to kill the big ones and then the shrimp to get the ones I missed. Been free and clear for the last 6 months now. You can also use lemon juice but I dont know the quanity to use. Look that up and you can get more info

Eric Borneman's Aiptasia control recipe:
100ml distilled water, 1 teaspoon Red Devil lye (sodium hydroxide), and 2 teaspoons calcium hydroxide (kalkwasser). Mix well and use a PD-Tip or dispensing syringe. Turn off water flow and let sit for one hour before turning flow back on.
Note: This mixture is also effective in killing just about anything you put it on, including out of control xenia, polyps and even some hair algae types.

If you have 1, then that means you have more than 1 and you just don't see them.

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT USE LEMON JUICE!!!
lemon juice is extremely acidic
saltwater aquariums + acidic = your system crashes
we like to keep our PH above 8.0 Why on earth would you squirt some extremely acidic lemon juice into your aquarium??

I heard a story of a guy killing his huge tank with lemon juice. Apparently, he wanted to kill alot of aptasia and his tank crashed loosing EVERYTHING.

I could imagine that would happen if the tank was rather small or HUGE ammounts of LJ was used.. Example.. If you used 2ml for each one and killed 10.. I dont really see that 20ml of lemon juice in a 100 gallon is going to make much of a problem.. Must have poured a bottle in or it was one of those "diver caught in the clam" stories..
