Default Anyone have Joes Juice

Hello gang,
I just found an aptaisia on a piece of imported rock and would like to zap it. Anyone have any of this stuff... or even some kalkwasser that I could make into a slurry??
Thanks!

- Chad

Try scalding HOT water Chad.
If you can get the water onto it fast enough it will nuke it.

Ryan,
I may give that a try. The rock has some nice blastomosa on it that I don't want to harm... maybe I can take the rock out of the tank and use a syringe to put the hot water right on the aptaisia.

Like from a crack addict? I don't think so, Ikes taste for live hermit crabs and snails is expensive enough... I couldn't afford to support his drug addiction too

Thanks dude. If Ryans crazy water scheme doesn't work, I'll try them.

Cheers

Boiling water injected into them works great.

If you need a syringe, just pm me and you can stop by and grab one from me when you're in the area.

If you use Joe's juice you have to use it properly. To many people just point the syringe at the Aiptasia and blast away. A couple of days later the little sucker is back.
Turn off all of your pumps so there is no water movement. Then slowly drip Joe's over the Aiptasia so that they don't close up. You can actually see them start to ingest the stuff.
When they get a good mouthfull they will close up right away but by then it's too late.
I've done it this way a bunch of times with 100% success.
