SPS quarantine

[Yanir34]

Hello folks , I want to make full quarantine to my SPS frags , before they enter main system.

Primary goal is to kill any bugs (red bugs , black bugs , white bugs) and AEFW .

I have the this ingredients in stock :

Interceptor chewing "cockie" for dogs .

Potassium chloride

Coral RX Pro.

I also have 10 gallons small tank for this purpose, radion XR30 blue gen 5 , small heater ,small power head and small fan.

What are the procedure and protocol for the AEFW and the bugs ?
What are the dosage?

Thanks !

Out of the dips and meds you've mentioned, the only one I've used is potassium chloride, which is quite effective at taking out most 'bugs'. I personally house my new corals in a fish-less tank to allow any fish parasites that the corals may be harboring to die off without a fish host. In that time, I also inspect the corals for coral pests as well, before they go into a display tank.

I hope this helps and good luck!

Here's a thread on using KCL:

Honestly, KCL is really the only thing you need. It will kill bugs... all bugs. It won't kill the eggs if they are present, but keeping them in a QT to observe is a wise choice. If anything shows up after the initial dip, just repeat the dip. You can use the interceptor as a dip or for your whole tank. Keep in mind you won't have pods, worms, etc as it will kill them off.
