The exp date should be on the pkg. Other then that it's hard to say. I bought my last ones in 06 and they expire in 08

ok gREAT. i just checked and it expires in feb 09!
i'll chop up about 1/10th of the pill in the morning and disolve it in some tank water. Then add it to the tank after i take out hte carbon (no skimmer)
Then a 50% water change at 9pm and add carbon
????
Does this sound good?

It's been a while since I used it. Do a search on yahoo for red bugs or acro red bugs and you should get the link to the directions.

Just curious here. Is anyone using the Randy's 2 part on their tanks?
Reason I ask is because when I was using it, I had some acan's just polyp out. All water parameter's read fine. Once I stopped adding the 2nd part (cal) it stopped.

Ryan,
Ok lets see what the others say. Maybe has nothing to do with it.

Great!
I Really hope this is my result. How long after treating w/ interceptor did you notice a change in the corals? 1 day, 1 week?

No Big deal Ian. That thing i wanted to do didn't work anyway.
Im gonna leave the Interceptor in for a total of 8 hours but things are looking MUCH better so far. Only time will tell however.
I plan on doing another interceptor treatment in another week...

So glad to see you all having results with the interceptor! I am also having recession on my acans and micros and blastos as well. My chalice pieces seem unaffected. I got very slack about my water changes and my alk bottomed out, but even after getting my levels right again I still had the recession. It sure seems like most of the people with this issue have heavy amounts of LPS and aussie corals.
I will be dosing interceptor this weekend, maybe sooner if I can get before friday!
Thank goodness for RC and all the great members!!!

Of cause adding Ca reduces Alk, which is a problem. You probably had high Ca to start with.

the same is happening in Europe, i'm making the difference because now may traders are keeping corals in the country for some days and then sell the corals so it could perfectly happen that a pest could be established in the quarentine tanks (it was a theory with catalaphyllia, you remember?).
In any case, I have lost a blasto an oxypora, and echino and..... a red fungia. the question is when I've lost them and a lost all but the fungia one year ago very quickly. The fungia started to recede a little bit by then, especially the under side, so I dipped the fungia in a solution with iodine and then the recesion stopped.
Last week the recesion started again (it coincides with a drop in temperature, this winter in Madrid is very cold -7 ºC in the morning and I forgot to connect one night the heater after clenaing up the tank).
Yesterday I saw the black 1.5- 2.5 mm black critters you are describing in the thread. In my notes from a year ago a have also dicovered the same but I didn't give it importance by that time.
What I want to add to the threat is that it could happen that the bugs you decribe could be living latent in small numbers feeding on other corals waiting for the opportunity to feed on the more tasty ones when you add them to the tank.
If it is the case, once there is an deadly episode then without treatment no case to be sure that it couldn't happen again.
