mojano infest

mossman604 · #1 05-03-2009, 05:56 PM

so i put my good rock from my 40 into my 75 and set it up, the 100 lbs of mojano infested rock i put in a rubbermaid container, after 3 day it really started to stink like dead body stink. so i moved it outside. it has been a week now i made up a 5g bucket to rinse the rock off and im making more since the water has formed a membrane over the surface and there are about 1000 mojanos on the bottom of the rubbermaid, im letting the rock sit in an empty bucket for a while till my new water is ready.

any comments, am i doing things that are bad¿

You might have some spikes when you put that rock in your system. I'm assuming you have the rocks in a waterless container. If so I would put some SW in with a powerhead and a heater. Maybe even a light. But thats just me. I really hope that works for you on the mojano problem. I've been doing a weekly "killing" on those things.

I found a trick to get mojano was to turn off all the lights and put a small bulb in a jar that floated below the surface, the mojano would migrate to the outside of the jar and then were easily removed.

Blast? Dynamite? Plastic explosive or Joes Juice? keep the water fresh, use a powerhead and try the lights.

Seachem Reef Kalwasser 1kg $26.15
Makes a fair amount of Kalk paste.

Joes Juice approx 1tsp of Kalkwasser powder and water $9.35
The makers of this are probably sitting pretty happy. Nice profits.
