Has anyone tried using this JoesJuice for getting rid of Aiptasia Anemone?
http://joesjuice.com/_wsn/page8.html

I have read that Lemon juice also work well http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/anemonecare/a/aa100798.htm ....better than Calcium Hydroxide/vinegar even. I have been using the CH/vinegar but get spotty results with the survival rates. Any suggestions appreciated.

On the rare occasion I see one, I use either the A or B bart of B-ionic, works great!

I've not had much luck with Joes or Tropic Marin. CBB works well.

Joes works for me but you just have to mostly cover them up with joes.

I've only gotten about 4 of aiptasia in a year and a half. Joe's worked every time for me.

I had a bad outbreak about a year ago. Joe's Juice works great. I got rid of most that I could, then bought a CBB. He does good patrolling for Aiptasia but he wont touch my majano outbreak. Joe's takes care of that too. Just be sure you follow the directions.

JOes works for me as well. Sometimes you have to hit it a couple of times if it comes back, but it will eventually die.

I use Kalk paste. I like the Idea of the B-ionic. I am going to have to try it.

Any better luck with one or the other??

My favorite method is a blue point lighter. Those fiesty aiptasia are instantly brought to a sizzling boil when introduced to a delightfully warm blue point flame, within seconds they are a dazzlingly beautiful orange color sure to please even the reef keeper with the most refined tastes!

Another method you can use if you have another tank with deep sand in it is to bury a rock that has aiptasia on it, in about a day you will see the aiptasia comfortably sunning themselves on the top of the sand where they can be easily removed from the top of the sand (minus a few grains of sand) and sent on a delightful all expense paid trip of your trash can!

No kidding, that is why I hate those things. I take it personally when I see one.

Does the Joe's Juice or kalk paste harm zoos? I've got one right in the middle of one of my zoo frags...
