What is the dose for inteceptor, are there any bad side effects for using too much???
if i round up all the snails and crabs (acro) and stuff and make a qt tank how long should i wait before adding themback to the main tank.. after running carbon and water changes
There are different thoughts on this. Some overdose and run carbon and change water very quickly while others dose lightly and let it run it's course in the tank. Both had the same results... no more red bugs. If it were me... I hate to say it, but I'd remove all the crabs and shrimp I possibly could and hit it with a really heavy dose and get it over with. Worked for Rich... but I have no experience with this. Contact him.
So Irisservice... TMPC will kill red bugs if used as a dip? That sounds like an option as well. Are there any predators? Wrasses and mandarins don't eat red bugs?
