Interceptor Receipe

[beareef19]

I need to know if anyone has a receipe for a small batch of red bug dip say about a 5 gal bucket so I can dip any new corals I get before I put them in my tank. I have seen threads in the past on whole systems but I just want to make a small amount for dipping corals Thanks Barry

[beareef19]

Do you use the whole pill? Or just part of it , or does it matter for dipping purposes and not treating the whole tank?

[Reef69]

put a little of the powder in it

:mellow

[beareef19]

I saw that >_< but when you treat a whole tank you put alittle in also depends on total gallons. Alittle to one person may be alot to another, I would like to know exact amount ,or here from anyone who has made a batch themselves. Brian if you have done this about how much is "a little"Thanks Barry

Just use one of those "little" measuring spoons.

O.K. S.A <_< and I'm not talkin spanish now. who loves ya Gary!

For five gallons of water I used roughly 1/8 of a pill. This is way overdosing but will do the trick. Do you have corals with red bugs or are you just being cautious with new frags?

[beareef19]

Thats what I was looking for Thanks Clint and Brian, Just being cautious Remember protect your self or catch what they give ya!!!!!!! :unsure :o :angry Barry

I bought a package of the Interceptor Green (Dog 11-25) which are much smaller & cheaper. I use one of these in 3-5g for new SPS. I think Todd posted once that the Interceptor treatment was tested at 20x the recommended dose with no ill effects on the corals. I haven't had any problems using this strength for dipping new corals. FWIW!
