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?
I got Mrs. Wages pickling lime from Amazon. I just put a bit in a little dish and add some water mixing frequently till it's a medium thick paste. Liquid enough to draw up into the syringe and needle provedes by Aiptasia X that I bought a long time ago.

Perfect and thanks so much!
That's what I needed to know!
I'll try this next week.

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?
IMO, the least effective. Boiling water is almost the same on effectiveness. Kal paste in the best chemically ive seen and for an infestation - A Kleini butterfly

Exactly why I asked thanks so much!
I've also seen people saying they used liquid calcium.
What's your opinion there?

What are you doing instead?
Haha, right now….I’m growing aiptasia, lots of big fat aiptasia.

I’m contemplating trying a coppberband butterflyfish again. In the meantime I’m hitting the most offensive ones with kalk paste.
