Red Bugs stop the insanity
I have to do the interceptor due to having red bugs on a couple of acro's. I'm gonna do the whole tank. What I'm wondering is there anyone in calgary with a scale to measure this stuff. I plan on going to my vet tomorrow & hopefully treating on the W.E. Thx

I just wing it and snap off close to the right amount but always using a touch more than recommended. It's worked great 3 times now. Unfortunately I'm really good at not inspecting new corals too lol.

Did it kill lots of pods in yer tank, or any other unwanted stuff? I'm not really worried, but there is no way to catch the 2 shrimps. So hopefully they're tuff. There are still some hitchhiker crabs in there maybe i'll get lucky & it'll kill those hairy bastards.

Do you have a little blue scoop from Salifert test kit? Use one level Salifert scoop for each 40 gallons. I had to do that twice last year (two infections...grrrr). The only thing I ever lost in these treatments were Emerald Crabs.

My cleaner is the only one I've ever seen that won't come to my hand. I never could catch him so he's lived through all 3 treatments. I haven't seen one of my porcelains lately but I know that at least one has lived through two treatments. I only had a few hermits but none made it past the second treatment.

Try a bottle trap for your shrimp. I managed to catch a couple cleaners and a fire shrimp in mine with some food as bait.
I have a couple salifert spoons kicking around if you are in my area and want to stop by to grab one.

Thx Sean will do, are you around tomorrow? It would have to be a fairly small bottle & I don't want to break any corals trying to catch them. From what I've read it's very seldom people are losing shrimp. I just talked to my vets office & he's away for a week... the secretary talked to me like she thought I was retarded when I asked her if she had heard of it, & that's a whole nother issue, I just need to get some interceptor. So this raises another question:
Can anyone recommend a vet in CT who is aware of what we are using interceptor for?

Oh ya, forgot how packed your tank is with all those nice SPS. Would be tough to get a bottle trap in there.
Only around from about 5:30 to 7 tomorrow night if that works for you. Otherwise maybe Saturday if tomorrow does't work for you?
