Recepie from a friend...for apistasia control
This ain't a juice its a paste, will make about 4 oz/s weight not volume.
I take a ½ to 2/3 cup of pickling lime or kalkwasser mix the dry type. The pickling lime does better and add a few spoons of R/O or distilled water and stir these to look a bit like a thick pancake batter almost and then stir in a tip of a tea spoon of ground say a 1/8 tsp. of black pepper and cayenne and a couple of drops of Texas Pete hot sauce and stir and mix well.
Then put this on a microwave safe plate or saucer spread it out level over plate and put in microwave and then heat this mix on high for
about 45-60 seconds or till it just starts to bubble abit let it bubble for about 10 seconds. It then will be about like
tooth paste when removed and very hot.. It can also be done in a oven or a toaster oven what I used before microwaves where
around.
Then stir it again then let it cool should then look like a thicker mud almost like sheetrock mud and smell like pepper.
Then let it set and cool and put in a capped bottle. Then using a syringe from
An aquarium test kit remove the plunger fill syringe with the cooled mix with a spoon handle screwdriver and drop a dab in to each pest. No need to remove or clean or worry they will turn black swell up and melt in just a few minutes.
This is totally reef safe and used and tested for many years. Now if the mix is to thick to push through
Syringe like a caulk gun when it’s cooled, then add a few drops of R/O or distilled water to thin it a bit, But it has to have mud type concinnity to drop in to their mouths like real thick toothpaste. “TOTALLY REEF SAFE†and no Clean up needed and the excess if any will dissolve and add buffer to the water. Just let it lay there. Tangster stuff. Enjoy never eat it won't hurt you but taste like sh*t as crocodile Dundee would say
