I've been injecting calcium chloride into aptasia. Calcium chloride is the Ca additive I use to top up Ca in my reef. But at concentrated levels, it's a killer

I'll try the boiling water method first. I only have one aiptasia that I can see so far, so I don't think it should cause too great of an ammonia spike.

I've never had luck with boiling water, by the time I get it into the syringe and into the tank, the water isn't even hot enough to **** them off . I use kalk paste and the nifty syringes that come in the salifert test kits
