joe's juice for aptasia control

[hotlemond]

last night i discovered a colony of them on some rocks. I have been advised on using hot water but how to get it hot anymore when it touch the tank water? Also for the kalk paste, it would raise up a PH shock rite?

I have heard of freshy squeeze lemon juice. Anyone tried that before. Otherwise, is Joe's juice available locally? and who sell them?

Thanks bros..

Fresh lemon juice didn't work for me. I was told to inject the juice into the stem of the apstasia, but it's very difficult to aim accurately and quickly (before it retracts). The anemone typically shrunk before the juice could be successfully injected.

But I tried using kalk today, and the results were splendid.

Would like to ask the experts around:- how much kalk can we dose before it's over the limit? I mixed 1/2 teaspoon of kalk to 2 table spoons of water, but only used half of the mixture for testing purpose. Will that be too much? I think other corals will also be affected if they come into contact with the dosage, rite? Appreciate your advices.

i have been using joe's juice for the past month and it has done me good for my tank. bought online from them and it cost me roughly S$28 inclusive of shipment for a 20ml set plus a purchase of 2 Angle Tips. not unless someone brings it in, i think it is still economical as they will ship it the cheapest possible way; mine was shipped as a registered mail, everything inside just that they folded the box with it

wat i used is the near whitish kalk water in the mixer for my main tank.

works well too.

and i dun think that little kalk being introduce into the tank will upset anything, unless its a small tank.

and it works one wonders~!!!

You cleared all the apstasia at one go? That must have cost you a lot of kalk (and $$) . Did the process injure any of your LS or corals, or you took them out before the massacre?

I target my injections at the apstasia singly, and see them absorb and shrink and disappear... But throughout the process, water remained clear, with some whitish kalk particles floating around and dissolving into the water.

Aiya, if it's only 1 apstasia, no need to dose until whole tank go smoky mah.

My case is much worse - practically infested with apstasia. I think will need an army of butterflies to clear all of them. Even got 1 in the overflow which measures more than 2 inches!!

Only whacked a few big ones yesterday. Going to repeat the process again in 2 days' time. This time hope to kill more. But I am worried that overdosing kalk will impact my water condition and affect my tank adversely.

i used to inject kalk into my reef tank to control apstasia, it works but problem is if u misfire to your corals, it will kill it as well. Peppermint shrimp is hit n miss; and ive read in RC that they would work better in groups of 5 or 6. I have 5 in my tank and eat nothing but brine shrimp

joe's juice is the most effective ive used; no need to worry if it hits my corals as its not lethal to them. best is u can see results in seconds....
