Want to buy interceptor for black bugs

[alindell21]

I just found out Ive got black bugs on some of my acros and Montipora. I've read that alot of people use interceptor to kill them at around 4x the dose. They already took out my forest fire digis. If anybody has some or can get some quickly that would be awesome.

If you know a real vet and not a glorified anal-gland squeezer and nail trimmer, you can show them the original research from Dustin Dorton from ORA and they will likely prescribe you some. Explain that this particular bug needs 4x the dosage amount. Most vets are subsets of the profession and might turn you away, but real vets that do more than dogs and cats are usually understanding. There are many pet mets with Milbemycin Oxime and not just Interceptor. The ones with Prazi in them are fine to use - the prazi is not a super high dose in most cases.

All of that said, even at high dosages, it does not always work on black bugs. Don't expect many pods, starfish, shrimp, etc. to live at that dosage whereas they have a good chance at the original dosage amount.

I bought some from Canada. I found an exotic animal vet that was willing to work with me, but they wanted $150 for a visit and then id still have to buy the meds. All the other vets I called didn't want to help me
