interceptor dose for white bugs?

[realreef7]

Dealing with white bugs in the frag tank. What's the recommended dose of interceptor people are having success with? I've tried 1 large chew, frag tank is just shy of 100 gallons. They're still there.

Does KCL dip do anything for these guys? Haven't tried bayers yet.

I just did 5 23mg tablets in a 225, colors are bouncing back quick and no sign of them, will be doing follow up doses.

I did 6-7x red bug dosage and it was safe and worked.

For what it's worth, Bayers does not work. I dipped all my frags in bayers for 30 minutes and am now dealing with bugs as well.

how many doses do you plan on doing? I did 4 chews on a reefer 750 ~ 200g and no signs of them. Planning on doing another dose in a few days (been 7 days since the 1st dose).

Really huh, I did a 1hr KCL dip, 4 tbsp a gallon and they were still moving around. Wonder what people are using to successfully rid of them with dips.

Tough without photos of the actual bug, there are a few different species I think that are being called grey bugs. Here is a photo of one that died in a potassium chloride dip. Trouble is I think they can avoid exposure to the dips if they get sucked into a crevice or polyp or under mucous. So definitely not something you want to rely on a single dip to protect yourself with.
