I disagree... Why disrupt the environment. I inject Kalk on my 180G DT with great success. Just did it last night to one. I have never had any invasion in my display, I just kalk them when I see them.

+1 as well, I just zapped 20 or more Apitasia in my tank over the weekend and there is no sight of them again and did not have to move a single rock.
