I truly believe the secret to my success has been, fat fish and at least once a year completely redoing everything, changing rockwork, pruning corals right back and probably the most important.....periodically adding new live rock, straight from the source that I cure myself

I did that too in the last version of my tank.....except I ran out of room for corals so added more and more and more LR to stuff more coral in

.....

I love all the big mature corals in this tank!

The only casualty of the inteceptor treatment was a small portion of a pink Millie rtn'd the same night as the treatment. The polyps still aren't fully extended on it yet but at least it's stopped disappearing, a green millie is no longer extending it's polyps fully either.

All other acros look exactly the same as before

If that's the only casualty does that mean there is still red bugs? Or did you kill all those nasty buggers.

let's just say I haven't seen any since on the acros that are close enough to the glass to view red bugs
