I understand why some reefers suddenly give up and sell!

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

Are you saying it did NOT kill the flat worms?

Well I still have them, so i guess not

I used half a bottle in each tank, the 50g zoa tank and the 60g cube. A week later they were still there so I treated again. The second time round I didn't do a water change till the next day . I thought that had done the trick but i noticed some a couple of weeks ago.
