How long after interceptor to put back crabs

[justinzimm]

How long did everyone wait after doing three interceptor treatments to re-introduce the hermits, shrimp and crabs?

I would wait till at least 24 hours with carbon running. When I did my first treatment, I put them in about 2 hours afterwards and had nuclear fall out. JMO.

Anyone else?

I put mine back in successfully after two 25 gallon water changes. One change after the treatment and one the next day. The tank is 170 gallon total volumn.

I put mine back the next day and most died(yes I did the water changes, carbon etc....). I recommend waiting a week for good measure if you can.

I had planned to wait a week, but ended up putting in a dozen peppermint shrimp from a group buy the next day after the last treatment (the price was right, even if the timing was a little premature when they fianlly arrived). This was a couple of weeks ago and to date all peppermints are still alive and active (that I can tell).

I know you asked about acro crabs, but I figured that peppermints would be a good enough indicator. Hope this info helps
