Man, recommendations are all over the map for dosages. Some say 23mg treat 400gallons and some say 10mg per 20 gallons . That is quite the difference!
So what is the best practice dosage? Have you used that dose with success, and if not what did you use?
I know to remove carbon and UV while the dose is in there (I have neither).
Protein skimmer should have air turned off but sill be one so it gets the medication in it.
I know it will kill all crabs and invertebrates.
I have read it will kill pods, but they will recover. How is that? If it kills the White or grey bug permanently, why would regular pods survive and not the bad guys?
I know it is best to do 3 doses spread out a week apart, so 3 weeks total.
Sometimes (maybe) only the InterceptorPlus with praziquantel is available. Apparently that kills worms too. I'd like to spare my Bristle worms if possible. Would the "Plus" kill them? If I siphoned some worms out and kept them in a QT tank for the 3 weeks would it be safe to re-introduce them?
How about duration? I've seen some people say run it for 6 hours, and some run it overnight - following that with a 10-20% WC and some carbon. Seems like overnight makes more sense to me if it really harms nothing but the bugs why not have a longer exposure?
What else should I or other people reading this know?
