I use a combination of:
Interceptor for 5 hours then Revive (http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~SearchStr~revive~action~view~idProduct~TL1671~idCategory~FIADCD~category~Two_Little_Fish ies_ReVive_Coral_Cleaner_16.8oz_Saltwater_Aquarium_Supplies_Additives_Coral_Dips~vendor~.html) for 4 minutes.

JPMagyar,
I just picked up a bottle of Revive. My lfs uses and recommends it. Since you are still using Interceptor, have you found that Revive does not work on red bugs? I have been dipping in Lugol's and Interceptor, but was hoping Revive could do it all.
By the way, the frags I got from you last year are ALL doing amazing!

Luis, Glad to hear the frags are doing well :D That's an interesting point you bring up because I notice dead amphipods and copepods when I use Revive so I suppose it is possible and even likely that Revive kills both, but I haven't seen any information to confirm that as yet. Great question and one that I hope more scientific oriented reefers can answer sometime soon because it would be far easier to dip corals for 4 minutes in Revive alone versus 5 hours with Interceptor.
