what is in Joe's juice

[dz6t]

After trying to kill a rock anemoe several times, it always comes back bigger and stronger. I tried Kalk paste already and no luck. What is in Joe's juice? Is it really works? Thanks

 

[Moe_K]

From what I understand, it's pretty much kalk paste.

Are you using it in accordance w/ the directions?

 

[BigSmokeShowJOE]

use ca in a saring and sitck it in it that will kill it!

I think Joe was trying to say. Mix up kalk paste into something resembling toothpaste or thicker consistency. Draw it into a syringe (the bigger the needle the easier that will be, I think you can do this without the needle, but i have them, and it seems like surgery )
Stick the syringe into the offending coral and dose until it's filled and covered with kalk.

Seems like anytime I use Joe?s juice im most successful when I cover the entire area with it and have the pumps off. So I will feed the majano or whatever with it and then coat the surrounding area about the side of a quarter with it. Seems to do the trick.

A little bit of Joe in that juice i believe.

here's a trick i found that works pretty well.
You turn your pumps off kalk or joes juice the little bugger,it will retract into the rock,you then take a piece off reef putty and cover over the top of it sealing in the kalk.Leave it on for a week or so,they never come back from that one.

 

[this is me]

you guys are mean

What I have had the most success with is:

I put some frozen mysis shrimp and krill into a small cup with RO water. After the food has thawed, I strain the water into a cup and that is what I use to make the kalk paste in. When I put the needle near the anemone I start to squeeze a little out and the anemone wraps itself around the needle thinking it is about to get a treat(tastes the shrimp). Then I let it have it!

Hope this helps.

That is so hideously evil!
I love it!

You think that's bad?

When I had Aiptasia in my tank (I don't anymore), I would take some RO/DI water and add kalkwasser to it. I would then bring that solution to a boil in a small pot on the stove. Mind you, kalkwasser is actually less soluble at higher temperatures, but the idea here is to get a boiling solution of something caustic. When the solution came to a boil, I would quickly take as much as I could into a 1mL syringe, and then using a small guage needle, inject the anemone. The anemone would quickly deflate, having been burned by both the temperature and the caustic anture of a kalkwasser saturated solution. Finally, I would take some coral mounting putty, and cap over where the anemone had been. I will say that I never had any survivors using this approach,

I can't stand the way they flinch when you try to do something to them. I am such a girl

I like the putty idea I'm about to go give it a try. I don't have a bad infestation but I have a few BIG ones that just will not die.

 

[Matt L.]

I feel like such a hypocrite

Let me have a go at them

Here I am chastising Chuck for proponing ruthlessness in another thread, and yet I employ what I believe to be the most evil, ruthless, and draconion Aiptasia removal method.

They sure won't slip silently into a peaceful sleep when you inject them with caustic kalkwasser paste at 200F and them seal their remains in a lightless tomb.

Where do you get the needles?

Waoooo, this trick works so well now I am looking for pest anemone to kill but none avalible.

 

[synchiropi]

And i thought using lemon juice was evil

 

[dz6t]

Those pest anemony won't let go the needle and glup down Kalk paste. I could see the body of the anemoe was filled with Kalk. Then, it shrivered and melt away.
