Potassium permanganate is another solution to killing the nudis, it also kills the eggs. I think you can get it at pool supply stores and you just dip them in a solution for an hour or so. Revive might be easier to find if it also kils the eggs.

You can get revive from Red Coral. I bought mine there.

So update.

I have dipped all the Monti's in Revive and watched all the Nudi's die...
I think i will do this daily for the next few days to ensure that all the eggs are gone.
Interesting observation though. I pulled about 20 of the little buggers last night and put them in a cup of saltwater and left them there. There has been no water movement etc and the water is ice cold but they are ALL alive still

So the interceptor is coming tomorrow and i will begin to do that tomorrow sometime and hopefully by Tues this is all over.

So does mine, I keep making Pine-Sol jokes everytime I use it. There are a couple of really good threads on dipping with Revive on RC if you're interested.
