Joes Juice

[andsoitgoes]

I've had luck with Joe's Juice and Peppermint shirimp - I guess I just got lucky

I kicked the big apistasia that was easily visible with the juice, and my shrimpies got the rest, haven't seen it come back in any of my tanks since. The nano has been free, save for one that was hiding, since I first got it...

Guess it's just that kind of stuff, works for some and not for others <Shrugs>

Thanx much,

Just mix a bit of Kalk with enough water to make a paste,not too thick tho.If you drip Kalk,the stuff that settles on the bottom of the container works just as well.When I had to use it,I just sucked some up in a Salifert syringe and shot it into the correct area.On a couple I had to reapply a second time,but that was it.

Okay, thanx. I want to get it concentrated enough to do the job, but at the same time avoid plugging the syringe. I hate that.

Cheers,

I tried Joes Juice. The aptaisia kept coming back. I tried conc. Kalk paste same result. finally in desperation I introduced a queen angel to the tank. In a couple of weeks no more aptaisia. She ate them all. Problem is she picks at yellow polyps and they will not open. Also same with starburst. If I have aptaisia in other tanks I transfer the rock for a day or two to the queen angel tank and then they are gone and I move the rock back to its original tank.
