Need Joe's Juice

You can do pretty much the same thing by mixing kalk with RO water to a slightly pasty consistancy. You only need about a talespoon with a few Ml of water. Experiment a little with the thickness of it. You can use a syringe from an old salifert test kit, or even a eye-dropper will work as long as the paste isn't too thick. But the thicker the better (keeps it from flying around in the tank, like JJ will), so try the syringe if you can. hth
 
About any lfs sells kalk in small containers, probably for less than you'll pay for a bottle of JJ. The boiling water will work too. But you have to use a hypo needle, and if you have a lot, you'll have trouble keeping the water hot long enough. Also you won't be able to address the small ones with the boiling water. The kalk paste will.
 
I ridded my tank from aptaisa for good with a squirt of lemon juice right into the stem. just don't over do it...and you'll be fine.
