Anyone fighting aiptasia with lemon juice?

[00W]

Have you now, recently or in the past?
I have my own method but have never tried lemon juice.
Interested in hearing what y'all have to say.
For those of us who can't have nudis or peps, what other alternatives have you tried?
Did they work or is it just a losing battle?

I have tried it. Seems like it just ticks them of for a day or two and then they're back. Not effective in my experience.

Losing battle. Might win if I was persistent, but I keep going days and days between Aip hunts.

I am currently using a combo of boiling water for the isolated Aips and kalk paste to the face for Aips around/between corals.

Yeah it kinda wears me out and I skip a few days and I just can't win.
I use boiling water and vinegar right now.
Never used the paste.
How do you make that up?

ive done it all. be careful with that kalk paste. itll burn coral close to it.

I don't mind trying something new.
I've got 8 almost rotten, juicy lemons in the fridge.
Someone, just say the word and I'll go for it.

Spent years on this pest. Tried everything.
Got a Copperband and 100% gone in a week.

Beautiful fish!

Thank you!
I really don’t know why I waited so long!

I have 2 tanks on one sump.
I bought 2 peps for my 20 and they completely eradicated all of it in a day.
Long nosed hawkfish took them both down a week later.

I wish I had room for a copperband but I barely have room for what I have.
I think I need to see pictures of your tank now.
