Wow crazy mishap...first time using Joe's Juice...

Um... long story short the plunger wasn't plunging so I applied a little more pressure to the end and then a little more and WHAM a whole #$%^ load of it came out and fired at my GIANT aiptasia

It was a little unsettling, but I think the tank is ok. The fish were trying to eat some of the white junk that went floating through the water. I wasn't to happy about that...

The aiptasia did melt right away. It was crazy. Kinda cool. Folded down on itself. I'll be surprised if it survives it.

This is the big one before it melted. I thought it was crazy awesome to be able to see the food inside the aiptasia. That's why I took this picture a few days ago.

that was not aptasia you killed--but rather a very rare and expensive coral from Indonesia-----just kidding.

How big is your tank--assuming that you have lots of flow then you should be okay

it's a 29g w/a Koralia 2 (600gph) and a dual bakpak skimmer that pushes a decent amount of water also.

Don't think you will have any issues.

I figured it'd be ok. Just wanted to document the funniness of the hobby

When it happened I said oh #$%%, but then realized it was ok. At that point it was hilarious

Like a pasty missile explosion inside my tank.
