Ok,

this sucker is large there a big big on and a smaller one....

The problem is that there in the 5.5 and i cant joe juice em ageain.... last time i almost killed all my sps's with the juice. (small amount) witch didnt kill em anyway.

so

what i was thinking should i pull the roick and nuke it in a bucket or salt water? Or should i try 2 srape it off?

this thing might have eating my goby

Try boiling water in a syringe.

agreed, try boiling ro/di water and spraying it using a syringe, it worked for me

 

[burning2nd]

hmmmm.... How do you think the plastic syringe's that come with the salafet kits will work?

i have a brand new one that came with the auto acclamater

 

[steven11]

The boiling water will melt the one that came in the kit. You will want to use something that is thicker plastic. I would say that if you could pull out the rock and dump some boiling water over it in the sink or something, you would be a lot better off.

What to do if you have corals on the rock? I am having an out break of the suckers and not to sure what to do about it with sps on the rock. I don't want to use jo's juice.
Sorry to high jack your thread burning2nd. :/

 

[burning2nd]

ya put joes juice works good man, dont get me wrong i used it on my other tank and it did the job, its just this tank is really small.

what size is your tank?

 

[Frankie]

120 with a 75 gal. fuge. I have one monster one and a ton of tiny ones on this one rock. Unfortunately, i have some corals attached to it also. I am thinking about just removing them and tossing it in boiling water. Seems to be the best idea i have read yet.

 

[Frankie]

OK i did it. I nuked the suckers in boiling water! LOL! HAHAHA! i nuked them baby!

 

[burning2nd]

Im trying to figer out how i wanna nuke that thing.... its about 4" away from the milli frags.... (witch are just comeing back from that last attempt)

so...... im thinking bucket....

when i do the water change, place the rock in the old water, and nuke the hell outta em..

I just have to be careful cause i dont wanna kill the little bit of coral that tank has.

 

[burning2nd]

OK NUKED the hell outta that thing.....


the RODI boiling water was the trick...

but it was not a good idea to do it in the tank..

i wanted to rescape a little anyway..

so i removed the corals, removed the rock that the aptsia was on...

boiled some RODI diped the corner of the rock where the to aptasia where...
and they melted like in 2 seconds...

the hermits cleaning the left overs.... just some goo

 

[Frankie]

I have not seen any since i did it. It seems to work boiling water. Next time i wil try boiling water in a syringe so i don't loose all the coralline. It is coming back fast but i have some really nice coralline on my rocks and i don't want to keep killing it.

Have you guys tried Lime or is that the same as using Joe's juice?

Actually, I think that's what Joe's Juice is. just a high concentration of Kalk water or Lime water.
