Anything I can help, please let me know.

I am also doing this from time to time.
Willing to work some 2-3 hours, ending up in collapsing structures and whole weekends day and night... My per day changes tend to get smaller and smaller due to this.
Best,

The year of the Dragon:
It's about time to renovate my poor tank. This action will be taken by this weakend.
The outbreak of Majano anemone is over-control. I will take out most of the corals and get rid of them by using Joesjuice.
Then putting back all corals and do some major aquascape.
Hope the tank will look better. (or maybe worse)

Hey chingchai, have you thought about using one of the majano/aptasia zappers, rather than Joe's Juice? I had MUCH better results with one on my old tank, and once gone they really stayed gone, rather than Joe's Juice, where it seemed to me like I had about a 25% growback rate. Just my $.02, hope it helps! Good luck with the tank renovation!

Wishing You all the very best of luck Chingchai.
I am sure the tank's gonna come out excellent. Really looking forward to this :D
Yep zapping the anemones is a better idea coz once zapped they stay dead.:hammer::uzi:
 
Hi Ching,

I have been following your thread from the beginning and I always have loved it. This idea i'm not wild about. I recently fallowed my tank (took all my fish out) and left the tank fishless for 8 weeks. Manjos and bubble algea popped up EVERYWHERE! Well within a few days of adding my fish back in, the manjos are gone! The problem for you is that only large angels in my experience will eat them.

I have used Joe's Juice before and it doesn't work. It will be impossible for you to get them all off the coral/rock. Even if you get most of them, within a few weeks they will all be back. Trust me, i've done it. Then your tank will look worse because the corals are stressed from being removed and scraped.

What you are proposing is a short term fix. They will come back, I assure you. You need to find a long term solution. A kliens Butterfly should eat them and most likely will not nip your lps. If I were you, I would buy a few beautiful large angels. They will eat them(or at least they do for me). They may nip your lps but what you are proposing will be worse for your tank than a few bites in some LPS.

Either way I'll be folllowing along to see what happens. I wish you the best of luck and I have always loved your entire system!

Ching,

Two points based on my experience trying to control Majano anemone: Over the years I have had several outbreaks of Majano. Copperband Butterflies have worked every time.

1) Joesjuice does work but going to all the effort you are talking about will still not be a guarantee that Majano will not return. Once they are in you tank the best you can hope for is controlling them. They will just break out again.

2) I have found Copperband Butterflies to be much more effective in keeping them in check. The Copperbands often appear not to be interested in eating them at first and it may take a month for them to start eating the majano and then all of a sudden the Majano start to disappear.

The problem with Copperbands is that they can be finicky eaters and can slowly starve to death once the majano are gone. I have found Copperband will often reject any dry food or pellets, slowly starving to death.

I have found following some of the receipts on different web sites for making your own food, by very finely chopping ( 1/16th on an inch) up mussels, claims, oysters, shrimp, scallop, (what ever you can find in a seafood market) and then mixing in whatever dry food or liquid you have on hand, making a slurry; which I then pour into ice cube trays and freezing the mix. This solves the Copperband not getting enough food issue. Just drop a cube into the tank once a day and watch the feeding frenzy of the all fish and coral.

Both my coral and fish growth has increased dramatically feeding the fresh frozen mix. My Copperband is fat and is the first one in line to eat.

fjr_wertheimber. Thanks for your comment.
Yes, I did think about the zapper. I will try it for sure.
