Hey Marie. Another Powell Riverite on Can reef eh? That makes 3. Almost enough to start our own Reef Website.

At least our own subforum anyway

Right now, if you were to come knocking at my door with $6000 cash in hand and ready to haul it away I would sell you the whole thing, bubbleking and all

Marie, how long do you have to treat sps in a QT tank with interceptor? (If you were to take all of yours out and during regular QT procedure)

Ok, I guess I'm going to expose my ignorance and stupidity with this but I'll ask it anyhow. Is living with red bugs completely off the table? I was looking at Ching Chai's incredible SPS tank in Thailand thread again this week and noticed right off the bat (among others who commented) that the closeup pictures clearly show red bugs. He just shrugged it off, basically saying "meh" (that's my own summarization mind you). I mean let's face it his tank looks like some kind of SPS bomb blew up in it.

At this point, with my corals looking good the only big downside is in finding homes for frags but as long as anyone who gets corals from me is aware that the frags need treating then it should be alright.

If the corals go downhill then maybe I'll have to rethink but until then I think I'm going to leave everything alone

I treat all my new corals for about 4 hours with a super dose of interceptor. Probably 50x what you'd use in a tank. I have a 5g tank with heater and ph, and use tank water, so they're aclimated as soon as the treatent is done.

Tony, hard to say. I had them, and my corals went to crap. I did see other tanks that had the though, and apparently were not bothered. Some of the nicest tanks we've seen on here in the last 8 years have had the bugs, even before we knew they existed. Personally, I'm making sure they never get in my tank, just in case
