Can Lime juice also kill aiptasia?

[150 split]

i tried using boiling water and my aptesia just closed up and came back out the next day big as ever. i have tried using kawk and that works but it gets in the tank and gets every where and if you do not get in thier mouth it just burns them and when they grow back more than one comes back. i have been looking for a cure i bought 2 pepermant shrimps and nothing i thought about getting a copper banded butterfly but i heard that they are hard to keep i am going from 150 to 240 soon, so they will have plenty of aptasia and worms or what ever they need. Just would like a fish or something that will keep this problem under control dont want to keep putting my arm in the tank and risking the tankmates for these pesky weeds.

Kalk paste and aptasia stop mixed together works well also.

Somewhere on here someone told me to use Purple up. It works wonders. I had one little one. I just squirted it with an eye dropper and it closed up and never came back. It was on my big mushroom rock so I didn't want to kill them in the process. Good luck.

i just got a peppermint shrimp, the first couple of days it was getting used to the tank the very next day almost all aptasia were gone some were even 1/2 inch in diameter.

dont worry about the change in ph, with a 90 g tank at a ph of 8.4 your ph will change about .001 in the downward direction, thi is as long as you use a syringe and do not just dump the syuff in your tank of course, i would maybe test alk but i do not think it will change
