FYI for Dr Macs

[harsaphes]

just wanted to say there is a post in the Vendors Forum over at RC that says people who went in on a group buy from Macs, received Red Bugs on their corals.
Just passing this on for what ever its worth.

that's scary.
they are hard to get rid of.
another reason to quarantine everything!

interceptor will kill those little bugs

 

[harsaphes]

yeah interceptor will kill them, but they shouldnt be selling them with them.

Everybody has had them, or has them or is actively trying to stay free if they keep SPS. The online vendors are no different, however, some are to be more trusted than others.

Staying red bug free is the real hard part!!

Quarantine is not enough, since all you will do is infect your quarantine tank. Interceptor dips are the only way for all new SPS, after a close inspection of the coral.

No, you need a vet's precription. However, most vets should be cool with giving it to you if you tell them its for an aquarium.

I got mine from an Australia company that has no problem shipping it to the USA:

The trouble is, I don't see that they have it right now.
