An interceptor dip actually needs to be done for a minimum of 30-45 minutes and even then you may still have a few stragglers that hang on.
I have found more and more corals being sensitive to the 15-20 minute TMCC dips, so I have been dipping for shorter and shorter periods it seems. I have been tossing around the idea of dipping TMCC and Interceptor separately too. Hmmm...
