Aptasia X alternative

[mrbacony]

I have had great success with Red Sea Aptasia X. But since it is nearly impossible to find now, what would you recommend as the best alternative? Looking for a chemical control right now, not biological. I had great success with Peppermint Shrimp in another tank, but I have a Flame Hawk in this tank and am afraid he will eat them.
Thanks

Mix Mrs Wages Pickling Lime with tank water and treat like Aptasia X.

Now that was a response I was not expecting. Thanks

∆ This ∆ or any kalk powder. I mix it with rodi so it's just thin enough to apply with a syringe but not runny.

+1 for kalk paste, though involves some elbow grease

Have you considered Berghia sp.? What do you currently stock?

 

[mrbacony]

I considered Bergiha, but they are very expensive and you have to get rid of them after aptasia is gone or they die.

Do you mix this to the same consistency as Aptasia X? I just purchased some to come Thursday

F aptasia has always worked well for me. Now the angelfish take care of them.
