DIY aiptasia remover

[alex77619]

(1) 0.3g gelatins + 10g rodi water，heat to 90-100 C (almost boil)
(2) 10g CaCl+ 20g rodi
(3) 0.2g MgSO4+ 2g rodi
(4) 2.4g NaOH+ 10g rodi

All of above mixed well
Slowly mix in the following order
(2) + (3) + (4) + (1)
Afterward add to 100ml
Under room-temperature
Mix one hour

Inject to aiptasia and let it swallow it will melt and be gone in a couple hour

Will slightly raise tank PH KH and Ca so don’t use too much and carful not to let it get on to other coral. Use a blaster to blow away if needed.

Here's a similar thread about using NaOH to kill off the dreaded bubble algae. There were some concerns about the effects on pH and alk.

2.4 g NaOH in 100ml and u only use like couple of drop, the effect to ur tank is nearly negligible

I find that with medicines as it dilutes into the tank it can upset my more finicky corals that are near the treatment part of the tank. I tend to turn off circulation before i use medicines to minimise the ammount i add to my tank. thats why i asked about ph. iterested in local effect
