Malachite Green on Zoanthid eating nudibranchs?

[FlammySnake]

I'm trying my hardest with freshwater dips, and though it's killing the adults, the eggs are killing me. I've heard of malachite green being used but I can't find a dosage or any practical experience from anyone. So, has anyone done this? Treatment would of course be out of system (two connected systems, infestation just started in the second one). How long did your dip last?

your not scraping the eggs off? and diff them in FWE?

Thanks, I appreciate the responses. I've been controlling adult numbers with freshwater dips, but the eggs were what I'm really trying to kill off. I visually inspect each frag and colony and remove all eggs that I see, but seeing as how I keep dipping pieces to kill adults, it's not working enough to my liking.

scraping only method I know off for eggs... don't know if long term dipping or regiment dipping affects the eggs.
