Started Red Bug Eradication Today!
I started treating my display today for Red Bugs.
A few things I noticed (about 5 hours into treatment):
1. Live Red Bugs are no where to be found now.
2. Polyp Extention appears to be better already.
3. Bristleworms are coming out with the lights on
4. Lost one of two cleaner shrimp. The smaller one is still alive and well. The larger one died but I know he molted last night.

Good luck! It's pretty amazing how quickly the corals start to look better.

Good deal! You planning to do the full 3 treatments?
How much did you use? Of what kind of pill?
I had a couple shrimp survive the first one,.. but none survived the second.
Best of luck with it! Your corals will thank you, I know mine did.

I am going to do the 3 treatments.
I used 1/4 of a tablet for 50 to 100lbs. dog.
If this shrimp survives this dose, I plan on making a second attempt to move him.
They seem to be thanking me already.

Good deal!
I used 1/3 tablet I think,.. just because I had a full one, and I read that overdose is not a problem.

Are you doing big water changes between? I did about 30% about 6-8 hours after treatment, and I didnt lose anything but the redbugs.

I thought about that but when I went to break the tablet, it split into fourths.

Getting ready for one now. Skimmer was pulled and cleaned about 2 hours ago, Phosban Reactor was pulled and cleaned, New bubble counter is here and ready so I can start the Ca Reactor and the glass was cleaned.
Coraline is taking a new hold since I replaced my bulbs a few weeks back.

I'm very happy that my mandarin eats prepared. I would be concerned about him otherwise.
