I have been trying joe's juice this week with great results. How's that zapper working Murfman ?

If you want to quit messing around with hit or miss critters that may eat them or not, and you really want to get rid of the pests try tazing them....no kidding, I just saw one of these demonstrated yesterday and it's amazing. Made by a friend of mine too!

AipTaser - Aquarium Pest Eradicator - Tropical Reef Corals

Aiptasia X?

 

[AndyDuckets]

aiptasia rx is what i use... works every time (for me)

Murfman, I applied for a patent on that device 6 months ago. It will be finalized in a few days.
I have almost $10,000.00 invested in the patent so far. It will be commercially produced very soon.
This will be my second aquarium related patent and I am working on the third but that will not be until a year or two.

I was just loaned one of paul b's tasers from a local reefer, it works pretty good. Some of my aiptasia were a little resistent and needed to be zapped several times. It can be hard to get at all the aiptasia, i have a breakout in my tank with several hundred of these dang things and it could take me a year to zap them all...some are a little too hard to reach/corals are in the way so i think it in combo with a filefish/nudi/pepp/cbb whichever you chose would really make a diff, Ill probably go with the filefish as ive seen one in an lfs just erradicate their aiptasia.

Paul makes a very nice product though, and its kinda fun to see them boiling. sounds evil now that i write that out.

You can PM me for information.

Why wouldn't you go with an Aiptasia eating fish? Like CBB or Raccoon Butterflyfish?

I taught my Raccoon how to eat from chopsticks. He will eat anything that is attached to them. :feel_good:

When you use Aiptasia X or the Kalkwasser/Limewater method you will need to turn off all your powerheads and siphon out the remains.
If you do not vacuum out the remains, the spores will spread throughout your tank.

I personally use the Peppermint Shrimps, you rarely see them eat the aiptasia, but at night they'll wander all over your tank in search of aiptasia.

Took 5 of them to clean out my 220g in less than a month. I did have really large aiptasia, I mean they were the size of half your fists almost!
