You need to read Dustin's original thread on RC, and follow it precisely. I can't see you getting it that it cost the rest of us about $60 for 6 pills. You need the large breed size, so maybe you got the wrong size.
Basically, you need to get the large breed size, have someone measure it into the three dosage sizes you need for your gallonage. Remove all the crabs and shrimp you can, everything else is fine. You treat once a week for three weeks. Add a dose, leave it for 6 hours or so, do a 25% water change and run tons of carbon. Repeat 2 more week's worth. Don't skip, or try doing less than three. We tried and failed. You must do three treatments. Look for a compounding pharmacy in your area to measure the dosages, once you calculate them. Make sure you have the right size pills, the wrong size won't work. Read all the RC threads on it.

Fun, huh? Remember to thank the place/person you got them from for all your fun. Always check acropora with a magnifying glass before putting them in your tank from now on.
