    Today i was lookin at my fish tank trying to find out how to make it better. I have tons of aiptasia and i need them gone! Aiptasia X costs like $20 for one little bottle and you have to buy like 5 bottles.

    Kalkwasser + Cup of tank water = Aiptasia X

    Take a cup of your tank water and put kalkwasser in it until you make it like paste. Suck it into your little syringe and TA DA!

    I have to agree about using kalk paste, but the syringe +attachments that the aiptasia x kit comes with are the best!

    I'm sure they don't, but can you tell me where to get the syringe with xtra large tube attachment? If so, I'm all over it!

    I use one of the big ones, I believe they call them irrigation syringes.
