Joes Juice in SA or San Antonio?

[Ram_Puppy]

I have tried the berghia, and they seemed to control the outbreak, but when I went after the adults the berghia wern't taking out, I seem to have made the problem worse, I am getting aptasia all over the tank now. TIme for harsher action. Anyone know where I can get joes juice in San Antonio or Austin? (Will be in austin next weekend.)

Alamo Aquatics in S.A. might have it, probably behind the counter so you would have to ask. I'm not sure about any of the others.

AquaTek has it.

Why Joes Juice ? Kalk works just as good or pickling lime in water and throw it in the microwave for 20 seconds and NUKE the buggers!!!

because I don't have to stab them with joes juice, just get it in their general area. I have been trying to stab and nuke for a couple days, and as I said, my efforts have produced more.. plust, the little bastards retract to fast half the time, and I have a deep tank. this is just easier. And I could care less about the 10 dollars.

I dont stab them I just get it in the mouth area and after it closes I cover it. Poof ... gone!

You gotta give the Berghia time. I didn't mess with my huge aiptasia and let nature take its course. The Berghia did their thing, you just have to be patient and that is consistent with what we know about reefing anyway. It works better with more Berghia to establish the colony if the problem is very robust. Just 3 Berghia are not a whole lot to take down hundreds of aiptasia, but, they will eventually succeed. It takes some time, as in several days, and larger Berghia than hatchlings, just to gang up on and take down one huge aiptasia..It takes 12 days for an egg set to hatch and then they are minute for a while. They aren't going to do much damage to a huge aiptasia at first, but, they will take out the babies at its foot and keep the problem from getting worse. There is of course the possibility that you didn't get enough to establish a good colony or wiped the hatchlings out with slime and mucous messing with the aiptasia. The ones in the area, if any, will almost definitely be through after using Joes Juice. From what I've learned of them (berghia) at this point, its best to start the colony high in the rocks, toward the end of the tank away from the overflow if there are aiptasia there. If your tank is fuller of aiptasia now, then thats the best chance for a successful take on the Berghia colony and babies, but it will take time. Be careful so you don't over do the Juice so the Berghia don't all get wiped out as they will continue to work so long as they don't eat one thats been juiced. You don't have peppermint or camel shrimp do you? Those things are very likely to eat the Berghia.

no shrimp in the tank at all, I am totally willing to give the berghia time, problem is a group of aptasia have established themselves right underneath my trupet coral, and they are really giving it a good stinging, and they are at an odd angle to syringe... I am sure the berghia are still in there going strong, as I have seen some aptasia dissapear, but I need to take out this little group of them, There are some in the back I will leave for food purposes.
