Aiptasia-x Red Sea 60 ml

Live rocks are essential in barrier aquariums and as indicates the name are colonized by a rich variety of living marine organisms, many of which play a significant role for a healthy marine aquarium.
One of the bodies that is introduced more often in the aquarium with new live rocks (and sometimes with corals) is the Aiptasia sp. Also known as Glass Anemone. Aiptasia is a reel and constantly releases the planula (anemone at the larval stage) in the surrounding water, which can fix themselves on the rocks or glass and turn into a true anemone.

The Aiptasia SP is easily adapted and spreads as algae even in difficult aquatic conditions. It seriously damages the sessile invertebrates that inhabit the aquarium irritating its delicate fabric and fighting with these for food and space. Aiptasia sp. It is considered as an epidemic and if neglected occupy the entire aquarium. It is essential to eliminate it before it reaches considerable sizes.

The anemones of Aiptasia sp. They are notoriously difficult to eliminate I.a physical removal is difficult as they are retracted quickly in small rock cavities when they are touched. Physical removal is also ineffective as when they perceive the danger they release the planula in the water.
As if that were not enough, some residual tissues are constantly anchored to the rock and can regenerate themselves into new Aiptasia sp., Producing even more than before.

The most effective method to eliminate the AIPTASIA SP is through strong chemicals, which are however difficult to administer in pure solution and can damage the corelle barrier.

Aiptasia-x:
The Red Sea's Aiptasia-X is a patented, secure barrier formula for simple and effective control of aiptasia.
AIPTASIA-X is a unique compound of natural elements, in a dense and adhesive mixture that globalizes in contact with water of the aquarium. It is easily injectable near the oral anemone cavity and stimulates it to ingest the material without this withdrawn into the rock breeze. The adhesive particles effectively seal the oral cavity and the mouth of anemone avoiding the release of planulas.
Within a few minutes from the integion of AIPTASIA-X the anemone will implodes and will be eradicated together with the planules.
The particles of Aiptasia-X will not influence the sessile polyps of corals and will allow an efficient treatment of aid grown in the colonies of corals.
AIPTASIA-X In excess will decompose over time without causing damage to the barrier.

Instructions for use:
Before using the treatment of AIPTASIA-X in the aquarium, turn off all the appliances that cause the water movement and leave to act for about 15 minutes after administering the material for 'AIPTASIA-X.

Shake bottle with force.
Secure the needle on the syringe making it rotate to the bottom
Insert the needle into the bottle and fill the syringe with AIPTASIA-X material.
Slowly approach the tip of the needle to the oral cavity of the anemone of aidsia to be treated by carefully releasing small amounts of material: let the tentacles of the anemone close up on the needle.
Spread the solution over the entire surface of the oral cavity of the Ancanus until the tentacles begin to retreat from the needle. It is necessary to cover the entire cavity choirs the material to prevent the release of planulas.
To treat small colonies of Aiptasia, spread the solution over the entire infected air.
Make sure to treat a large number of anemones in a single treatment.
If you need to fill the syringe with more material, make sure there is no salt inside the syringe before inserting it into the bottle of AIPTASIA-X.
The residues of the solution can be left to decompose naturally in the aquarium.
After completing the treatment, rinse the syringe with boiling water to eliminate the remaining material and avoid fillings.
Keep the AIPTASIA-X at room temperature
