    Never made it but I would guess you take some kalk and add just enough water to be able to shoot it through a syringe.

    Hey if you will mix about a teaspoon of kalk with enough water to make it kinda runny, then nuke it in the microwave for about 8-10 seconds until it starts to boil. It stays really hot and will start to boil again on its own so shield your eyes of course, anyways this tends to make thick but it will still flow through the needle of a syringe. Just kalk and water mixed to a paste wont go through a small needle, the syringe will just seperate the water from the mixture and leave the kalk clogged in the syringe. Atleast this is how I did it and what I experieced. The needle on the syringe will let you put just enough in the aiptasia so that they close up around it and sink into their hole. GARF has their recipe for mixing it on their website, thats where I got the info from.
