Joe's Juice

I used Joe's Juice two days ago to get rid of some Aiptasia & Majano anemones. Today I discovered I lost a snail, hermit crab and a Hawaiian Feather Duster. Has anyone else lost these types of inverts just after using this product. It does say it is reef safe. The water parameters are fine. I will list below. In fact I have other snails, hermit crabs and feather duster that are fine. When I took the feather duster out the tube was completely empty. I looked around the tank to see if it exited it's old tube but could not find it. Any input would be appreciated.

shouldn't hurt anything unless you were to like bury a snail in it ... it could affect it.

I've used Joes Juice many many times and have never experienced anything like this. I'm sure if they ate it ... you may experience some losses

 

You did turn all powerheads and pumps off when you used it, right? Unless you accidentally shot globs all over it shouldn't cause harm.

 

I use Aiptasia-X and it has in the instructions not to use alot at one time because it can cause a spike in the Ph. Never lost anything and when i first started i didnt know what they were. Looked online, books and mags. Never seen a pic of them, alot of reading but no pics. Hehe i was feeding them and doing good. Had 34 good healthy nice fat ones. But at last 3 bottles A-x and 4 monthes later the last 3 died.

 

that is a good point, Joes Juice is basically a kalk solution with something extra to cause the aiptasia to ingest it. So if the tank was small and you used a lot it could raise your kH up significantly....

 

I use it all the time. Never had any problems.
