i have a problem with aiptasia........it's everywhere? the guy at the aquarium store said to buy some pickling lime. But i cant find that...anyone no of anything else? i have only a 24 gal nano-cube, so i think a copper banded butterfly will be to small. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Joe's Juice worked for me. You can get in online or @ LFS. Just don't blast them all at once. It will mess up your ph. It's also pretty cheap.

Go out and buy a syringe and needle and just inject them with lemon juice. I've done this several times they are gone in a matter of hours and it doesn't mess up my pH at all.

lemon juice? huh. never heard that. I'll give it a try. i know calcium of some sort does it but i'm not sure what type. thanks so much.

+1 to peps...peppermint shrimp sometimes work. Be careful with lemon juice in a nano (pH swings). Excess nutrients/feeding often contribute to aiptasia growth, as well.
