So i seem to have picked up red bugs unfortunately. I didn't want to dose the entire tank yet with interceptor so i decided to play around with one of my frags that was severely infested. First i did the standard dose for 200ml of water which comes out to 1.06ml. As expected this did nothing, i gently swirled the water with the syringe and just watched the bugs swim around that i blew off the coral. Then i decided just for fun i would go to 3ml per 200ml. This stunned some of them and seemed to kill some bugs while other still swam around. Finally i figured heck with it i would do 5x the standard dose. The bugs instantly came off the coral and started swimming frantically. Then within two minutes they were all dead. I went ahead and dipped the frag for 5 minutes and returned it to the tank. It along with another acro frag i experimented on are still doing fine. Just wanted to let everyone know that coral rx can kill red bugs if you're brave enough to use a strong dose of it.
