try making you Kalk solution more concentrated/thicker.
It stays where you put it and doesn't flake out all over your water and tank; it is then real easy to just siphon out the little white golbs on your rock and substrate....

I guess CBB's are hit and miss because I do have one and he won't go after them. He does a bang up job on any aiptasia that dares raise its head though, so at least there's that.

I actually make the kalk solution as thick as I can make it already. It's not so bad really, I mean ultimately I'm sort of resigned to thinking it's still probably the best bet here for me, but I was just seeing what other ideas other people have. Surely I'm not the only one to have had these things proliferate out of control in their tanks.

I just bought a One Spot Foxface, and for the first few days he wasnt eating....anything.
Then 1 morning I noticed him picking at the rocks....but it wasnt algae he was eating, he was mouthing a vermitid snail, he didnt bite it off, he just sucked out the worm...it was awesome. So now he just cruises around the tank sucking out these damn worms....hope he gets them all.

My sixline seems to have a taste for them.

Aw man, another fish that I already have (The sixline)! That's awesome though that yours will help you on this one.

A one spot foxface huh? Care to rent him out? Haha, too bad that couldn't work.

Tony, I used to use hydorchloric acid to kill aptaisia, I'd inject them with a syringe and needle. Would probably work well on these things as well. No, a small bit of HCL will not affect water quality.
