Making joe's juice?

nathenvan · 07/26/2008, 08:44 PM

Hi fellow reefers, I have read somewhere on RC a while back that to Joe's Juice you just have to mix half Kalkwasser powder with half R/O water. Is that true or I need something else. thanks in advance

Thats about it. Make a paste that you can apply thru a syringe, or whatever you have to apply it with. I got tired of battling aptasia that way and got some peppermint shrimp. Cleaned up my tank in two weeks. Now they come out for feeding, even stealing food out of my BTA's mouth. They like to live dangerously.

I have tried Peppermint but I CB shrimp killed it. I will try it joe's juice for a while and see how it all go. I might have to remove the CB and add PS in the near future. let see how it goes. thanks for the infos.

I used just regular vinegar, injected into the base and it died instantly. Bristle worms had it gone by the next day.

Make sure you turn off your flow. The kalk paste is denser than the SW, but if you have high flow in your tank, you wouldn't want that stuff hitting your other corals. I completely engulf the aiptasia

Syringe, white vinegar = Gone instantly... try this first
It works so well that you'll enjoy getting rid of it.
