I really dont like driving the highway in the winter so I may not come down again until March next year. When I do have an actual date in mind I'll start a new thread to announce my trip well in advance.

I was trying to take some good close up shots of various acros that I have for sale this evening. Unfortunately I succeeded and as a result I discovered that I have F@#$%^G Red Bugs again! I wiped all of these little bastards out over a year ago and now they're back. I've given every new SPS purchase I've made an overnight interceptor bath but it seems that wasn't enough. So once again I have to treat the tank... I'll be following Melev's system again for this one and starting my first treatment tonight. http://www.melevsreef.com/redbugs.html

This comes at a really bad time when I know a few people were hoping to get some frags from me. I'll still sell them but it will be at your own risk. My advice is to QT them (which we should all be doing everytime anyways) and observe them for any potential pests before adding them to your tank.

I probably will be down in March and I'll post in this thread or start a new one as soon as I've been able to pick a day to drive.

I did my first treatment with Interceptor last night and it seems to have worked. I cant see any red bugs this morning but I'll still treat again on the following two Mondays. One item of interest is that the interceptor pills I'm using actually expired last month but they still seem to be doing their job.

I really wouldn't worry about the expiry date on them in the least

Didn't read that you had bug's till after I had posted that really is kinda funny as I was thinking that I would be safe getting stuff from a private tank

Maybe I jinxed you

I am sure it will be fine by then.

Actually there are (at least) two people in PG that currently have red bugs in their private tanks and they are unwilling to treat their systems because they dont want to kill their shrimp. Lucky for me because of my snowflake eel I dont have any shrimp or crabs. I originally got them two years ago from a third person in town who is no longer in the hobby. I have no idea where I got them this time because I've been very careful to QT and treat each new SPS addition. They must have hitched a ride with a soft coral, LPS or fish I guess...
