So I have a little aiptasia problem in my ten gallon. Aiptasia X failed me and now I have a lot more. Berghias are too expensive to get and impossible to get at stores, not worth it. However, my lfs manager suggest using epoxy (the two little fishy kind). I was skeptical if it worked, but he told me it was like pouring cement on someone, of course it works as it worked for him. He told me that I just have to make the aiptasia close up, then smother it with epoxy.
Now before I do this, I need more feedback on this. I don't want even more aiptasias, because I already have one annoying the crap out of my rainbow acro.
 
I mix Kalk powder with water to make Kalk paste. Like sour cream consistency, then I draw it up in an old testing syringe. Turn pumps off and give a little bit on each one. A lot cheaper than epoxy.
 
I find if i epoxy them they pop up the next hole down. Lol
