I tested coral revive due to a red bug outbreak, before i got interceptor and bombed my whole tank. i had a frag that was INFESTED and dipped in coral revive with a 1200 maxijet blowing in a 3 gallon tank. after treatment there was no red bugs. i even inspected with a magnifying glass.

All I did was pulled my skimmer airline and dose I don't have crabs so I didn't have to remove anything... Starfish etc will be fine after 12hrs or so put some carbon online and maybe wait 24hrs for the skimmer it will go nuts for a little bit Once you put the airline back on.... Sps shouldn't lose any Color and the pe should be awesome when your done I dose my tank every 6 months just cause lol..... I never change my water fwiw but it wont hurt if ya want.... Melev has the best advice about going about this whole deal use his guidelines and you won't have any problems....;)

I guess I can stop looking for those redbug eggs now I know why I couldn't find any lol I did dip my frags when I got them I used seachem reef dip and then used the h202 for killing the algae. it wasn't till several days in the tank that I used a mag. glass to look at them I was actually looking at one frag that I thought was bleached to see if I could find any sign that it might be alive otherwise it might have been even longer before I knew they were there. the thing that gets me is I bought from a sponsor on here I thought with their rep & sales at stake that they would never sell anything infected. It is my own fault for trusting & now have a 10g on the ready for any other new additions
