Can anyone recommend things to dose (or overdose) into a tub of live rock that will kill Aiptasia, but allow coralline algae to survive?

Adding livestock (e.g., peppermint shrimp, nudis, butterflies) is not an option as there is no filtering device on the tub.

1) Joe's Juice?
2) Kalk water?
3) Lemon juice?
4) Vinegar?

I'm looking for something to dose the entire tub with, i.e., not specifically target the Aiptasia.
