The laser has been incredible. It’s just a matter of finding all the tiny ones when the lights are out. There are a few in hard to get spots which I still think I can get but need to turn off all flow. overall I am very happy with this product.

Aiptasia I use a hypodermic needle filled with kalkwasser water, and I shoot it into the base and it will fall apart very soon. If done right, they won’t come back, but you have to use it on each individual one.
Won't the thin needle clog? 😔

They are proven for me.

I tried them last year. I added 6 to my 260 gallon. I didn’t see a single aiptasia after a week (not exaggerating). Later that year, I had to dose interceptor to my tank which wiped them all out. The aiptasia started coming back after several months. I added 6 more, and again, they completely eradicated them within a week. I wish people would just listen and buy them. I don’t understand the obsession with kalk paste, joes juice, aiptasia X, epoxy, lemon juice, vinegar, etc.

Do people like to make themselves suffer??
20 years ago I didn't know anything about the shrimp. I did find out about injecting them with hot water and it worked! Never seen them again in my 55. Nice to know about the shrimp though!

I had 5 medium size Aiptasia. Applied Joe's Juice and 4 out of 5 died almost immediately. The 5th died after a second application. It has been almost a month and there is no sign of any Aiptasia in my tank. It worked much better than I expected.
