I use that as well, they just come back. Looking for something thats not so messy and I hate looking at the bright white spots after applying it. I think i'm doing it thick enough it seems to plug up in my syringe all of the time. But when I turn on my pumps and PH's afterwards there is a huge "kalk snowstorm" that makes me a little nervous.

Actually the zapping happens in the tank, you place your anode/ cathode on direct opposite sides of the Aiptasia and then hit the shock button for a second or two. It works well but I have no ambitions to hook the car battery up any time soon .

The proper spelling of the word everyone has butchered is "Aiptasia".
The letter "D" doesn't belong.
