FAQs

How often should I apply Red Sea Aiptasia-X?

Apply as needed, targeting individual pest anemones. Wait at least 24-48 hours between applications to monitor results and allow the solution to work. Avoid over-treatment.

Can Aiptasia-X be used in a reef tank with sensitive corals?

Yes, Aiptasia-X is formulated to be reef-safe when used correctly. Apply it directly to the pest anemones and avoid introducing it into the general water column. Observe sensitive corals during and after treatment.

What is the active ingredient in Aiptasia-X?

The active ingredient is a proprietary blend designed to neutralize pest anemones. Specific details are not publicly disclosed but it is known to be non-toxic to reef inhabitants when used as directed.

How much solution should I use per Aiptasia?

Use a small amount, typically 0.1-0.5 ml, injected directly into the oral disc of the Aiptasia anemone. The exact amount depends on the size of the anemone.

What should I do if Aiptasia reproduce after treatment?

This can happen if residual polyps remain or if new Aiptasia are introduced. Continue to target and treat any new sightings promptly with Aiptasia-X to prevent them from establishing.

Is this product safe for fish?

While primarily targeting anemones, it is generally considered safe for fish when used as directed, meaning direct application to the pests and not to the general water column. Fish may consume treated Aiptasia, but the product is designed for minimal harm to reef inhabitants.

Troubleshooting

Aiptasia not shrinking after application

Ensure the solution was injected directly into the oral disc of the anemone. Reapply carefully, ensuring a direct hit. For very large Aiptasia, multiple applications may be necessary.

Accidental over-application near corals

If a small amount is accidentally introduced near corals, perform a small water change in the affected area if possible, or ensure good water flow to dilute the concentration. Observe corals for any signs of stress.

Applicator not dispensing solution

Check for any blockages in the applicator tip. Clean the tip thoroughly. Ensure the applicator is properly filled and the syringe mechanism is working correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have the Red Sea Aiptasia-X applicator (sold separately or with the initial kit). Fill the applicator with the Aiptasia-X solution from the refill bottle.

Compatibility: Aiptasia-X is designed for use in marine reef aquariums. It is compatible with corals, live rock, and most common invertebrates when applied directly to pest anemones and used as directed. Avoid adding the solution to the general water column. Ensure any pumps or filtration that might ingest the solution are temporarily turned off during application to prevent widespread dispersion.

Care: Store the Aiptasia-X refill in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent evaporation. Clean the applicator tip after each use to ensure optimal performance.
