I have used Kent Marine Kalkwasser mix for aptasia control for over a year.It is just as effective as the pricey Aptasia X (Red Sea) product.
Start with a paste of equal parts water and KMKM powder.Let sit for about 20 minutes.The mixture will thicken with time.I use the hollow point 2.5 ml syrine that comes with the Aptasia X kit.You may be able to purchase one at a local farm store.
Many corals(esp.zoas)are sensitve to the treatment.Turn off all pumps before using.Also keep a turkey baster handy to wash off neighboring corals.You may want to remove the effected corals to a separate container for treatment.And finally, practice on a isolated aptasia first.
Aim for the mouth,similar to using Aptasia X.Be generous if possible.You may have to treat heavily infested areas again in a few months.
Additional information- Kent Marine Kalkwasser mix is sold in 3.5 oz containers for around $13.99.
