I'm going to have to treat my tank for the red mites and I'm looking for a tablet of interceptor if anybody has an extra. I figured I would see if somebody had some left over before I begin printing out forum threads to take to my Vet. I would say i'll trade a frag for it but i don't want to spread these mites to anybody. Please let me know if you can help me out. Thanks alot.

Thanks Joshua, Larry has offered to sell me a tablet so that should be enough for my small tank, with 3 treatments. I'll let everybody know how it goes.

It will go fine, but be ready to get stressed out. There is nothing like dumping toxic pesticides into the tank you have been developing for a time. I had been collecting acropora for 5 years and have some pretty nice ones. Talk about paranoid when my crabs started to die. If you can catch them and put them in a safe tank for the treatment period that would be cool. I beleive it took a little over a month to do the 3 treatments on the tank. Calculate the dosage a few times before doing it. At the correct dosage it will work great! Good luck.

Tim thanks for the support. I think Larry might stop by my house and take a look at my tank and help me get the correct dosage. I guess I can't ask for more help than that. I'm going to drop a shrimp or something into my tank so I can catch alot of my crabs. I'm not really that worried, it's just exactly what you said...theres something about putting pesticide into my tank that doesn't sit right with me.
