I'm about to take a new bottle of F-aiptasia to my palythoa island. I shaved off all of the nuclear greens, but about 30 heads have popped back up. Will covering them in F-aiptasia cause a change in my water parameters? It is a 10 gallon tank. This stuff is basically kalk paste, no? Thanks!

It may but rather than this product, place them in a container of tank water and smother them with kalkwasser mixed with tank water into a thick paste like consistency

I'm not sure of the exact ingredients here, but many such products can boost pH and alk, so start slow.

In my experience F-Aiptasia only increased the problem by a factor of 3. wont recommend using it.

Thanks, I can work on just a few polyps a day and watch parameters. Will post if I notice any effects on pH and alk.

Increased your palys? I assume you mean aiptasia. I'm planning to try it on newly sprouting palys.
my bad did not notice hat you are using it for palys, I tried it on palys they were bothered for a few days and then bounced back, try using a generous amount on each.
