Is in the store now! I got some at Super 1.

I know some people use it in their tanks to get rid of pest anenomes. Does it have any ill effects?

It came in a 1lb container for 4.48

It can melt/kill corals if it gets on them, so just be careful. It can, in high enough doses, raise the alk of the water. Just mix it into a paste and squirt it out of a plastic syringe.

That's what I did last night. Then I started to worry about it since I have a lot of pests.
I used the syringe that came with the Joe's juice I had bought awhile back. But I should have made it thicker.

You do want to make it pretty thick. Just thin enough to get it through the syringe. I usually try for a toothpaste consistency. If you have TONS of aiptasia, don't try to get them all at once. Get a few each day. This will keep it from having any effect on your Kh or pH. Even then, any effect it will have will be a very temporary effect.

Okay, thanks for the info!

Was yours packaged differently than it used to be? I found it at Walmart, in the valley. It was packaged in a re-sealable pouch, instead of the usual plastic can.

Yeah I think they are packing in bags now to save on cost. Although you can buy a case of them on ebay and they are packed in the plastic jar.

This was the first time I ever bought it. I got mine at Super 1 in post falls. It was in a large plastic "can", green label. Its the 1lb size and was 4.48.
They only had that kind and I havent seen it anywhere else but I have not looked.
