    or you can use just regular household vinegar. I used my spot feeder sucked it full of vinegar and just sprayed it onto the aiptasia. It let out a bunch of white stuff and I havnt seen it since.

    You have to take the rock out to squirt vinegar on it right?
    Do you use the Joe's Juice in the tank or out of the tank?

    Heres my story for you. About a year ago I had a 20 gallon tank with about 35 pounds of aptasia in it. Wall to wall my rock was covered in the things. Bought a peppermint shrimp and within a couple of weeks they were all missing. Wish I had some pics it was the worst I ever saw.

    Hmm, I have 3-4 peppermints in a 65gal with 60-70lbs of LR and they did not seem to touch the baby Aiptasia's in a few areas? What is the secret, let the Aps get bigger so they can find them, before I break out the Joe's juice or get more peppermints?
