Mrs. Wages brand of Pickling Lime from your local grocery store.
It comes in powder form in a cylinder shaped plastic container with a green lid. Find it in the "canning" section. Add a few drops of RO water and make a paste, even thicker than Joe's Juice. Remember not to go after all your aptasia at once. Do some now and some tomorrow etc... keeps your PH from climbing too quickly.

I use 1/2 cup of warm water and then add 1 tablespoon of calcium carbonate. This gets very hot. I fill a syringe with the mixture and then inject it directly into each aptasia. I only inject 10 aptasia daily and then check my calcium level.
