About to nuke my tank with interceptor

[alindell]

Okay so I finally got the right kind of interceptor for my black bug issue. Let's hope this works. They are on my zoa's most of my montipora and some acros. They have killed my forest fire digis after smothering them. I've used coral rx and the Bayer stuff to kill them and I saw how many there were. They are very small and smothered my coral almost to death before I dipped it a d now it's coming back

I'm going to use 1 23 mg pill for large dogs of the milbecyin oxime to my red sea 625xxl which is probably about 120 gallons after dispersion. This is an increased dose which I guess is what works better for black bugs.

The plan is to shut off UV light, but keep pump running. Turn off carbon reactor, remove skimmer cup but leave pump on to keep water oxygenated and let it run through my tank for 24 hours and then do a 20% water change.

Repeat for 3 weeks meaning week 1 dose, then water change after 24 hours resume normal operation. Then wait a week to then repeat and then 1 more time.

Let's see what happens. I'll report back

Good luck!

Thanks. Sucks I couldn't get my cleaner shrimp out. They are actually smarter than my fish and are very shy of any bets or traps. Very hard to catch. Got out my hermits though. Hopefully my fish, clams, corals, starfish snails are not hurt. I've read it only really goes after shrimp, crabs, and copepods

I know guys using double that dosage for white bugs as did I. not sure about black. If it doesn’t work, hit it with double. Do you have pics of the black bug infestation? I haven’t dealt with them yet.

Here's a video. It's on a digital frag.

Digital*. The specs are them. They really like my montipora

I wish I could see this. Attachment videos never work for me on this site. No idea why.

So good news and bad news.

Good news: The treatment seemed to work on my SPS. The frag that I could see that was covered with them doesn't show any black specs.

Bad news: my cleaner shrimp died, one still survived and I can still see some black specs on my zoanthids and near the rock of my zoanthids, so maybe they avoided the medication or they are different critters. It's hard to tell because they are so small and look identical in movement size and color.

I think I'm going to increase the dosage to maybe two large pills since I know it works for the second treatment. I want to nuke these things.

Here's a short video of it. Can anyone identify or give some advice on what these are and why they didn't die while the same looking things on my montis did..I'm assuming they are the same? It's just weird why they would die on one coral but not another.

I have the in tank treatment medicine for all bugs ready for trial. Basically it works the same way as the interceprtor but without the fillers. No water change needed. Just need to turn skimmer back on and let it do the work after the 8 hour treatment. Please let me know if you want to try it out. It will be free of cost to first 5 people who PM me. Just have to pay for shipping.

What is it?

What is it?

It is made to exactly mimic interceptor pills but without the fillers and junk. It will be in liquid form. 1ml of the solution will treat 100G just like the pills.

 

[alindell]

So the milbecyin doxime? How many mg. 23 mg pills?

it will have 23mg per 1ml of the solution.

 

[alindell]

Gotcha. How much?

 

[akaimal]

Gotcha. How much?

I will send you the bottle for free. Just pay for shipping. Hopefully you can report back the effectiveness of the medicine. I used it already 5 times in my system and it has killed all bugs good and bad.

The interceptor I used killed the black bugs already on my SPS but I think the ones on my zoa's are still there so I'm not sure the interceptor does anything to them but I could take a bottle for future use

oh wow! i am guessing the stuff on the zoa is not a bug and might be a tiny worm.

Do you use apple products by any chance?
