I had the same experience as Alan, stuff works great but the little
b@$*rds seem to reappear again within a short period of time.

I also found the boiling water to be a more permanent solution.

Problem is, I can't get at all of em the way they get themselves into some of my rockwork...so I got a peppermint shrimp. Within 2 weeks every Aptasia in the tank was gone and I haven't seen one since :cool:.

Did that shrimp ever get big quick! :eek:

Scott, you should rent that one out!

:biggrin:

I added two peppermint shrimp and they disappeared. They went to the back of the rockwork and I haven't seen them since the first day. They must have died because they never appear when I feed, but my blood shrimps always come out during feeding.

My Joe's kills came back with less color. Definitely a weaker version....but still took a second hit. I found the JJ always precipitated out of the container, so I just went back to kalking the aips. Definitely the Joes got me a handle on a severe problem tho.

You guys should really try the boiling water turkey baster method. I've never had one return. Plus after emtying the water from the baster you can suck up it's remains.

I think I will try the baster, Danny. How much of a squirt?

I have found the same problem with JJ, I have killed the same 2 at least 3 times, and one was a huge mother, in behind a rock, have not seen it since the last dose though.

May try boiling water next time...

I usually give it two or three slow shots just to be sure, it all depends on how hard it is to get at the little bugger. Make sure you fill the baster up full and be careful not to scorch yourself, wear gloves.

Happy hunting! :mrgreen:
