I have a 75 gallon tank. I was told by some people I needed one of the large pills. I'm still trying to figure out how to correctly dose it.

Scott,

You will only need less than a quarter pill to dose your tank - the typical dose is about 1/4 a pill for 100g or water.

I also have it if you really, really need. Let me know.

Do some more research before you put it in your tank, make sure you understand what you need to do and follow the instructions. Dustin posted the instruction on reefs.org and reefcentral have some info too. They have to come from SOMEWHERE, have you done a trade or bought some corals recently?

Some online pet med places will ship to you in "error", some will not. Looks like you have it cover now, let us know how it turns out.

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm not sure where they came from, but i did get some corals from Reefermadness about 3 or 4 weeks ago, which has been the only stuff I've added to the tank in a while. I always dip new corals in lugol's, but I guess I will have to start being more vigilant for pests. So far, I've found them only on four corals (none of the new ones, by the way), but they are all over them, so I imagine there must be a lot more of the little buggers in the tank.

Cali-reef, thanks for the heads up on the info.

this stuff is hard to get, because its a precription dog medication. If you have a dog it's shouldn't be a problem to obtain. I'm still weary of putting this stuff in my tank, eventhough i don't have a red bug infestation.
