Tank Entry

Hey Friends! So after doing some speedy reading I’m pretty sure i got everything right, i just treated the tank, I’m now waiting!

The very first thing I did was make 15gal of saltwater so I’m ready to go in case of emergency.

It was hard to figure out how much interceptor i needed to use, it seems most of the information out there is for large tanks; this is where chemistry class helped! I used known values (1large tab treats 380gal and contains 23mg of milbemycin oxime) ...

wow im definitely in a "low" this week with the hobby, not much has been going right

first off, Thursday while fragging some acro i noticed i had redbugs i was not very happy, a couple pieces really are not doing so well working 9 hour days i havent been able to treat the tank, tomorrow i plan on attacking
