Looking for aptasia eaters. I have a peperment shrimp but I have been dosing the aptasia with lemon juice so much I think he's not liking the taste:lol:

get rid of them ASAP.


I heard making a thick paste of Kalk and feeding it to aptasia will kill it.
I'm using joes juice and u can see it eat the stuff and melt away almost immediately.

aptasia
 
They are good and bad. They help keep the tank clean but like a rose in the middle of your lawn it also is a weed. The problem is the can take over the tank, then your in trouble. If your lucky to only have 2. I suggest you get rid of them.
Do not crush them because they will release spores that will start growing all over your tank:idea:

lemon juice
 
It works but I can win the battles but the aptasia are winning the war:lol:

A Copperband butterfly will do the trick, But they can be tricky to keep alive. Well, at least for me.

Thats what Joes Juice is. Your wasting your money. $8.45 for 20ml of Joes Juice. $15.45 for 500ml of kalk at J&L prices. Theres probably only about a teaspoon of kalk in that Joes Juice.

Joes Juice
 
Joes Juice. I paid about $14.00 from picies and had a fit when I opened it and there was a small bottle inside. Does this kalk do the same job?:question:

JOES JUICE IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT, TRY TO SNEAK UP TO IT AND DOSE IT ALL OVER, BECAREFUL NOT TO HIT ANY OTHER LIVE STOCK AROUND IT. PEPPERMINT SHRIMP IS AN OTHER OPTION, BUT NOT GUARANTY. I HAVE ALSO USED 2 PART EPOXY, MIX SPARINGLY THEN APPLY TO THE WHOLE SURROUNDING.

BEST OF LUCK.:idea:
