nano man can Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I have a 20 gal nano that nas been cycling for about 1 n a half weeks and my ammonia has peaked and my nitrites are at 1.0 and my nitrates are at . i dont know if my tank even started the cycle. any ideas???? Link to comment
snookface1 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Nope, you have a couple of weeks left. Even when your nitrites go to zero there is more time to go. Don't add anything else for at least a month or longer. Look at the rock and see what is living there. Link to comment
Physh1 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 You are cycling but have 2-3 weeks left....just be patient and keep testing every 4 days or so to track progress... Cameron Link to comment

Tempest Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 You can kill aiptasia by using a syringe to inject it with boiling water, vinegar or kalkwasser. You can also put some epoxy or chewing gum over it when it recedes. This will lead to its demise and prevent it from spreading. Link to comment
Wiggler Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 For the aiptasia, take a look at this link: http://www.aquariumpros.ca/forums/showthre...p?threadid=5710 Pam Link to comment
snookface1 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I have a large one and small one in my 13 gal I've been wanting to remove. What is this Joe's Juice and where do you get it? Link to comment
movingshadow Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 fresh squeezed lemon juice will instantly kill aiptasia when injected... cheap, easy and works for sure... for those hard to get bastages, mix up some kalk (consistency should be rather like jello/putty) and put it in the microwave. when aiptasia tentacles touch the hot kalkpaste it sticks to them and when they retract - goodbye!!!

snookface1 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I can get to both of them, but will the lemon juice hurt my water quality? Link to comment
