I understand why some reefers suddenly give up and sell!

Hey Chris...thank you for the excellent and detailed information...BUT what is this;
"go see your vet get some penetrator the big dog one 51lbs and up comes with 6 pills"

I manage a vet hospital...what is penetrator???? Do you mean Interceptor? I did just Interceptor the tank 3 times to deal with red bugs.....can you let me know? I have picked up the TMPCC.....ALSO where on earth do you get FWE any more? It was taken off the Canadian Market.....Thanks!

3 times interceptor How did it go?

I sortof wondered...and then being late as it is tonight wondered what on earth "penatrator" WOULD be for!!

Interceptor is nasty for shrimps and hermits but safe for snails...does FWE hurt snails?

Where can you still get FWE? Do you have any idea?

OK obviously YOUR 12:12 answer came faster than mine!!!

Interceptor was easy to use, and no ill affects other than a diatom bloom...but that's it.....

There's a product called Dutch master and I used to work for the company and penetrator was one of the products used to grow the plants but that's another day, anyhow um did you remove your shrimp when intercepting, have you dipped your corals yet aswell as scraped and check colonies?

fwe hurts everything I mentioned up in my post, you should try to pick up the remaining snails during treatment they will be doing the salsa dance.
But before you even think about starting treatment pick as many snails out do it just after the lights go off they're easier to catch.

What snails does FWE kill?? I dosed my 2 small tanks twice using 1 bottle for each tank (3x stronger then called for each time) the only thing I lost was my peppermint shrimp (It didn't even get the flatworms

). I have ceriths,stomatellas and astreas in the tanks and they seemed to make out just fine
