Made my skin crawl

[Mr Cob]

Forgot to note that i also ran carbon after 24 hours of dosing....and replaced it frequently....and I do not stock hermits. All of my snails were fine.

Well, I'd tend to go with what Steve says - he certainly seems to have a lot of experience with 'em.

I dosed mine twice. Just seemed prudent.

Actually Bill, I've only had them once in my tank and once in quarantine. The person I got the corals from didn't know they got them from one of the 2 possible sources I got mine from. The 2 times I didn't dip where my two possible sources...both well-known members...both not thinking they had them. So diligence is prudent...I now use a very aggressive dip before anything goes into my tank.

Ok, did my first and hopefully last dose today at lunchtime. Performed a 30% water change tonight. I'll be inspecting for any remaining copepods and amphipods tonight.

It was really cool to come back after a few hours of adding the 1/2 pill, and see only a few remaining specs on my turquoise stag. A few hours later and I found no traces of them on the borealis or stag. Of course, I'll be keeping a close eye out over the next few weeks.

I just hope this will allow these coral branches to recover and start growing again. Absolutely no ill effects were noticed with the fish, and I was wanting to rebuild my clean up crew anyways.

So diligence is prudent...I now use a very aggressive dip before anything goes into my tank.

My new acclimation procedure will now include a lugols dip, flatworm dip, and inteceptor dip. Steve, I'll keep in mind what you said and be on the lookout for any bug reintroduction from from hatching eggs. Thanks!

Amazing how fast the stuff works. Glad it went well.

All of my SPS kicked back from it and I didn't lose any....all I really lost was my mind through the whole process....pretty nerve racking to watch little bugs tear away at your sps....and then to have to dose something so powerful.
