Joes Juice good and bad!!!

180gallonreef · 01-25-2007, 10:43 PM

well everyone that i have talked to has said that joes juice is safe on all corals and only hurts glass anemone's. well seems this is not true, squirted a glass anemone near my open brain and some of the juice got on the brain and ate a hole in it??? how resilient are these types of corals to injury?? hopin for the best

Hope it recovers. Sorry to hear that. Ouch!

I've always blown off any 'juice' that fell on other corals. It sure does look caustic!

I needed a good laugh.

Captain. The mind meld can be quite... distastefull . 180 Ive always been terrified whenever my Wife decides to do an appy hunt, those pile of white cant be good. Open brains seem to be pretty slow growers so healing will probably take some time, ive used superglue to stop the spread, this was a last resort so not sure if its really a good thing to do, but would watch your tank mates for snacking.Steve

Now you got me worried. I ordered som JJ for two majanos that are in the midst of my zoos. Maybe I'll use the vinegar instead.

Suggestions?

im currently using joes juice on a major outbreak of aiptasia. i'll be more careful when feeding those little buggers

No dont worry!! just move in real slow and "feed" the jj to it, they will drink it up if you dont frighten them>>> Be one with the juice! Steve

I ordered the angle tips for better control. Also, I would recommend you practice in your sink or bucket so you get the hang of it, It takes a light touch with a tiny amount to do the job. You don't want to squirt it hard.

Joe's Juice=Calcium Hydroxide in saltwater, so definitely not safe for direct contact with coral. It is safe when diluted.

sorry for the loss
the same thing happened to my red/yellow pollop turbinaria
when i used joes juice.

you can only let a little out right on the mouth not a big squirt and it does the trick

i got a big squirt on my turbinaria and zap see ya good bye

***it was a great coral***
