Interceptor

[Smitty]

Since I've been keeping sps's, I'm wondering if it would be safe to start using interceptor in my system...especially since I haven't dipped none of them. I know it kills red bugs, nudibranch's, flatworms, etc., but will it also kill my other inverts such as stars, shrimp, pods, snails, or cucumber? What do you guys think?

In my personal opinion, i dont like putting any sort of chemical in my water, but i guess thats just personal prefernce! :D

Lol...I'm with you waddi, but if I have no other choice because red bugs are killing my corals, then I'll do what I have to do. :)

There's something my LFS uses in his coral tanks for red bugs but, I can't remember the name of it

 

[Smitty]

It might be some sort of iodine dip he uses...maybe coral rx or lugols solution?

 

[BL1]

Nah, it's a power that he mixes into RO water.

Next time you go, why don't you ask him for me...cause I know with interceptor, you have to crush the pill up into a powder too. One pill last for approx 400 gals.
