aptasia

[EmilyB]

Don't have any Joe's around right now, always thought it was just kalk mixed with fish food anyway. Never worked when I used it.

Been moving over some rock for a bit and trying to eliminate the aiptasia before it goes back in. Left it out overnite, put kalk on it, put salt mix on it, put vinegar on it, put it back in the tank. Instant aiptasia.

I've put the rock outside, now a damn chinook, I'm sure the aiptasia will survive....

Joe Juice works everytime for me.I think the trick to it is shoot it in slowly without touching it so it inhales it.

Anyone else been able to totally eradicate Aiptasia without them coming back over time?

I had a peppermint shrimp that did the trick untill anout 6 months after he died and it started comming back. Now I have a CBB that seems to be getting rid of the aiptasia, and I told him he's not allowed to die so I should be aiptasia free forever lol
