getting rid of aiptasias


In case anyone hasn't heard yet, lots of people have been having luck getting rid of aiptasias with a product called Joes Juice. I'm ordering two bottles tonight, and I'll keep everyone posted as to how it performs. It's gonna have to be good, because I've tried everything: hot water, kalkwasser, vinegar, etc.
Anyway, address for the product is http://www.joesjuice.com

if anyone has had good luck by other means, please post a reply

I had a ton of aiptasias in my tank. One huge one about 2 inches high. I put in just two peperment shimps in the tank and in about 2 days they were all gone. Even the king kong one.

I have a question for everyone. How often do you see your peppermints? I put two in the tank about 8 months ago, and I finally saw one of them about 4 months ago after the lights had gone out. I haven't seen another one since. And, my aiptasia population does not seem to be growing, but certainly does not seem to be getting smaller. Joe's Juice works "ok". Some of them have not come back since using the product, and some have. About half and half. So, I'm not overly disappointed. After I bought the product, I got an e-mail telling me that since I was a first time customer, they were refunding me the shipping charge, so I really can't complain. Anyway, I'd appreciate anyone letting me know how often they see their peppermints. Thanks.

Mine tend to hide out in the rock and do all thier eating at night. Before I first put them in I fed the fish real good then didn't feed for about two days. The shrimps didn't have much to eat but the aiptasias so they did thier job real good. Now they get fed with everyone else. I do have a hard time finding them though it's true.
