WTB Interceptor. HELP!

Post by Scott Allen » Mon Apr 23, 2012 8:24 pm

I need 3 of the 51-100lbs tablets. I have black bugs on my Montis and they are eating them fast! There is a back order and I can't talk my vet into it anyhow!

Anyone have some tablets laying around, Name a price that is fair and I am in! Please help!

Not a stupid question. This is not nearly as common as red bugs. Montiporas are some of the most common corals on earth and have a large surface area making them susceptible to a larger number of pests than most corals. I had been noticing some tissue damage to a few of my Monti colonies. Well G-man and Super Rog came by to check on the tank while I was out of town and suggested that I have a black bug pest causing the damage! Roger linked me to this thread ( http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showt ... ?t=1899707 ) so I followed the interceptor route.

As of this morning there are no black specs visual on any of my Monti colonies!!! I'll be keeping a close eye on the damaged corals and will report any healing or continued decline over the following month or so.

Tonight I will perform a roughly 50 gallon water change and run fresh carbon. I plan to replace the carbon on Sunday and then run the treatment again middle of next week.

I have read some of the treatment guidelines did you pull all your inverts and clam? If not how are they doing?

What kinda surprised me with the Reef Central link: That no one really seemed to know much about them. Lot of people with a lot of experience on that forum, the good thing it seems is that they aren't that hard to get rid of. I would keep a watch for the babies though, from any eggs that might be on the corals.

Clams are at no risk..

My biggest shrimp made it, my lobster is fine and all corals seem improved.

Acro crabs, hermits and smaller shrimp all dead and gone. Bugs on the montis all gone too!

That's why you treat it in 3 cycles. To guarantee all the eggs are hatched and dead.
