Aptasia
 
I am looking for different methods of getting rid of Aptasia. I have tried the following

injecting boiling water
injecting boiling water with a very high salt content

I am looking for any methods that do not include adding chemicals to my tank

Thanks in advance

peppermint's have always worked for me, some people have not had the same luck.
I killed a few mushrooms with KALK and a syringe with a needle, Just try to inject the KALK into the tissue :snipersm: :evil:
Only my experience

I've found boiling RO the most effective.

Boiling water for me too, I use a turkey baster for more volume but some have good luck with a seringe.

I have used a syringe and lemon juice just be careful it can mess with your PH if you use to much.

Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you mixed lemon juice and kalk :razz:
seriously, kalk paste has always worked for me and it just adds calcium to your tank, although too much can also reek havoc with your ph

I just had to eliminate some from my tank and I used boiling water with a turkey baster. Within a few minutes my pep shrimo were in there cleaning up after me :)

I was told and actually read a book that says to get rid of Aptasia you tank like a frogspwn or similer and by holding the base of it(frogspawn)let its tissue touch the aptasia for a few seconds and it should kill it....Whether it works or not is another thing.I just read it
