    IMO, the peppers are the best way, nice and natural. The trick is to get alot of them(depending on the size of your tank).

    ya thats what i did but i used joes juice first cuz i had like 30 or more of them to bring the number fo them down to a managable level so my shrimp could handle them also joes juice didnt harm any of my corals or fish at all and my fish didnt even avoid the extra juice floating in the water its excellent i recomend it to anyone who has aipstasia problems

    Actually, to be honest, I like using two methods. 1. Are the Pepper's and 2. is Aiptasia-X. Great results imo. Luna
