Default Joe's Juice from Wendell

Hi all,

Just wanted to give another thumbs up for Joe's Juice. Received it from Wendell the other day and so far so good! For those that may not remember I posted a picture a while back of my sump chamber which is located at the back of my tank so you can't normally see it without sticking your head through the canopy. At any rate the sump had thousands of aptaisia...Clean sweep baby!

Rob

Robby, how did you use it? How easy is it to use on aptasia in the tank?

well Doug, if you saw any of the pictures from my aptaisia problems you would know that it was incredibly easy to use, heck I could have dosed the stuff with my top off water I had so many of the buggers

At any rate, it was very simple since I did not have to inject the aptaisia but rather feed it to them. There were a couple of spts behind rocks that were a little harder to deal with but still better than any other methods that I had tried.

Lastly, I did not feel the same worry when I was working closer to my other corals since it did not affect them adversely like the injections of kalk paste were.

Overall, extremely happy!

Best,

Rob

I had the same problem in my home system and after consistent use over 3 weeks I have now rid myself of most, not all of my aptasia.

I also added a few peppermints that I noticed last night munching away on some in the back.

I dont think its a secret potion that gets rid of all of them, but it sure helps.

Yup I'd agree with that!

I di have to purchase another couple of bottles (Makes 3 so far), although to date I have only used 1.5 of them. I have seen a few small ones but as I deal with them it's less and less. Also, I'm sure that I may have some particles that are coming from the sump which I recently scrubbed (making it much worse!!!).

I have found that the juice is far more efficient than kalk, lemon juice, hot water, etc. If you have fish that enjoy eating shrimp for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a general snack then this product is a great addition!

Best bet would be to eliminate the mass of them with Joe's Juice then put in a few Peppermint shrimp to keep them away for good.
