Aptasia DYI terminator thread

[Therapy]

Do you guys get Luer lock syringes? I had some of those before and had trouble fitting the tubing on them, both the hard and flexible. Arent the 19 Gauges filter needles?

We get both kinds of syringe (luer loc and catheter tip). I will stay away from the luer loc ones. We use the needles to give tiny tattoo's that's are used for alignment of radiation fields.

Damn Marde, you have a better syringe hook-up than me. Why not Use chemo to kill the aptasia. I've used joe's juice and kalk before. Kalk works better, but requires a real pastey application that can easily clog a spinal needle. I'm going to try an 18 gauge with Joe's juice just because it will be easier to use with less change on water quality (my tank is only 150 gallons). I shouldn't mind doing a few extra applications if it's not getting clogged. I plan on injecting every third day for 4 times.

Can you take a pic once you get set up? i tried to use flexible tubing with hard airline tubing but could not get it to fit together right. Tried using the 60cc but they were luer lock. I would like to see how you did it so i can scrounge at work for the same things.

If anyone really needs syringes bad I can get them from 2ml- 25ml.

I use the 25ml to target feed all the time.

just send me a PM if interested.

Marshalls Industrial Supply in Miramar sells large syringes (no needles). I got my 60cc one there.

will this work on yellow button polyps? they started growing among my zoas and are starting to get out of control...

If you use a needle and inject white vinegar right into the aptasia body, you'll never see it again. But that only works where you can get to them. The airline tubing works great on all the hard to reach places. If you need to bend it just hold it over the stove, let it warm up and bend it.

exactly want i do. when my brother comes down again, ill ask him to bring lots of syringes for you guys

WalMart usually has some in the canning section next to the food savers. Not sure if they have stocked the shelves again, but I know I have 4-5 jars of it here. I can save you the looking around time, and just sell it to you for what I paid.
