[jcs11236]

I am looking to start getting into sps's. I just want to make sure the pieces i buy dont have any bugs. What is the best dip/product to buy before i put pieces in my tank? Thanks

interceptor pill.for large dog is what I use to dip my new frags for red bugs. You can get it at your vets office.

^only thing i use.. and u really cant overdose. i popped half one week and two weeks later the other just incase of eggs.. but take out shrimps before applying.

Interceptor process has proven to kill red bugs whereas as the iodine based dips or plant extract dips will not.
It's actually a 6 hour process so you need to set up a small 5g or 10g QT tank with a power head and heater.
Red bugs will not kill your corals by the way. There are a lot of beautiful SPS tanks out there that have red bugs and are not treated but being proactive is a good thing.
Acro eating flatworms is a worse situation to deal with IMO.

thanks for the replies everyone.. as for the acroeating flatworms-do you use the same interceptor pills or something like coral rx
