Dammit. Aren't they really hard to get rid of?

I don't have any calcium to inject them with. The best I can do is take their host rock out and boil it.

If you have a clean needle and some concentrated lemon juice you can inject them and take them out that way Or Kalk paste through a bigger syringe or turkey baster very gently.

Think I could try it with lime juice instead?

I actually ended up trying it. I found about 15 of these suckers once I got going. I turned off all the powerheads but left the sump return pump going. Once injected they shrivelled right up into themselves. I think I'll have to do several treatments to really knock them out. I guess I'll see.

I should have experimented. I mean, try lime juice on one, cranberry on another, so on.. haha. What's the harm? I'm only cycling right now and I don't stand to lose too much, right?

Next thing you know you will be vodka to the mix to really get the party started

If there is only a few just clip off that piece of the rock.. It's better if you don't even mess with them! If you make them mad they will come back a vengeance!
