Interesting update with my tank.
After one 11.5mg dose and 3 23 MG doses (Redsea max250. 65g tank volume IIRC) over the course of the last month, the bugs seem go be gone for now. PE has improved substantially throughout the tank.
Also, my pistol shrimp is still alive and my large emerald crab is still scrounging around the tank like nothing happened.

This is interesting, because I've never had an emerald crab last more than a couple of days with this treatment.

No rx needed but it takes a couple weeks.

This link is legit.

No prescription needed

I have white bugs in my system, 50gal total volume. Should I try to get an Rx for interceptor or go with this Canadian sites option?

I have urchins, some hermits, snails, and a pistol shrimp (no chance I can get him) so is there one that’s safer for these guys?

My pistol shrimp has survived several heavy doses of interceptor. Must have something to do with hiding in his cave under the rocks.
Same with mine lol..

So did you get interceptor from a vet or order it from some of those Canadian online sites?

Actually my dog has some right now. So what dose formula did you use at the end of the day?

I see some suggest 11.5 mg/300gal = 1x and others that say 23mg/gal = 1x

I’m dealing with the white bugs

I ordered from Canada pet care. Their website shows plain interceptor but I received the chews with Prazi. I used 5x the dose recommended here:


Did not effect snails or giant clam. I have no crustaceans. 1 5x treatment knocked them out for me.

What was the recommended dose. I see a lot of conflicting info about it either 23mg/100gal or 11.5mg/400 gal etc…
