Aiptasia in overflow

[TrishK]

I’ve just started noticing a few aiptasia in my sand and two on my rock work. I killed them with lemon juice and decided to look at the backside which is normally covered with a background. And found at least 20+ of the little jerks in one of the overflows (don’t see any in the second overflow) so question is how the heck do I kill them in the overflow? There isn’t enough hand room to inject them all with lemon juice.

Boil some tank water, suck up with a baster or syringe and spray them with it.

I spray them first then suck them up?
Some of them are in some hard to reach areas. Hubby suggested draining the overflows and then getting them with lemon juice...thn siphon that out but I don’t know, he takes care of the plumbing part. Obviously UV doesn’t kill the spores

Spraying them with boiling water will kill them. Won’t need to suck them up. Turkey baster gives you plenty reach for hard to reach areas.
