Type of syringe/needle required

For getting rid of aiptasia, what kind of syring/needle do I need to inject these suckers with? Where can I get them?

What solution/mixture have you found effective against aiptasia?

You can drive down to my dentist office in NJ, or go to your dentist and ask for a 27 guage needle. Or just buy a matching needle for joes juice, I think Kalk paste/water works well for this.

I use the titration syringes that come with Salifert test kits.

I mix it till its pretty thick but still able to be drawn in to the syringe.

Thanks for your input! I will try injecting calc, joe's juice is just too expensive after a while!
