Just nuked a bit of aptasia last week with some kalk paste. It really does work like a charm. As long as you can get to it, you don't even have to move the rock it's attached to. I've also had good luck with peppermint shrimp, but something in my tank seems to think they're quite tasty, since they always go MIA within a month or two (it's been suggested it may be my brittle star, but who knows). Anyway, because of that, I've given up on the peppermints and gone the kalk ruite. Besides, the peps didn't seem to actually get rid of the aptasia. They'd eat it, and it'd crop back up after awhile. They kept it well under control, though.

Speaking of Kalk, the Walmart in my area just started stocking Mrs. Wages pickling lime. Is it wrong that a 30 year old guy is getting excited about pickling lime?
