Good luck with the treatment. It looks so easy, which is great for future reference.

Yes.. it is surprisingly easy.
Hardest part is sourcing the Interceptor if you don't have a dog/vet already.

When I did it years back I lost some pod population and that was about it. Its surprising how fast the pods rebound though.

Well, the lights are on now and I can not find a single red bug. Even on the most infected acro, not a trace. I did find a couple of hermit crabs on the sand bed that I apparently didn't catch for the sanctuary, oops!

this guy looks very much alive, but he is dead. It is almost as if he just froze in his tracks and kicked it. There are others like him.



This guy just fell off a rock and died.

Nice work boss! So what are your plans for a waterchange now? That's the big reason I haven't done this now...I really don't wanna burn through half a pail for a big one. I'm not even really setup to do that.

And my system is about 110 gallons total. How many mg would I need?
