does revive kill red bugs?

[sjfishguy]

I have read some reviews where people say revive kills red bugs as a dip? Any truth to this?

[fishieness]

I've used it and it definitely at least knocks them off. I usually do WELL over the recommended dosage. About 3 capfuls in a pint or so. I would not say that it is as affective as interceptor, but when in a pinch, it at least does SOMETHING.

Revive is da bomb. I use 1 1/2 capful ,per quart of water. With a turkey baster agitate the water and blow on the coral piece. Ill even grab the coral and shake it hard in the water. After that I let it sit for 15 minutes. .

Great on red bugs, awesome on monti nudis, and my kitchen floor has never looked so clean.

:lol:


I have a friend who viewed them under s scope to confirm they die. Not sure if that means 100% of them do though?

Haven't you ever read the bottle, It specifically says, not for household cleaning. but for the record, it does suck for cleaning counters. atleast thats what ive been told by someone how tried it.

glad someone else thought it smelled like PineSol too.

Does not kill them. May knock them off - may kill some. Your best bet is to invest in some Interceptor. Interceptor will kill them 100% if dosed properly.

I dip every coral that goes into my tank with a heavy treatment of TMPCC for 15 minutes. Yet somehow I got red bugs in my tank. I will be doing an interceptor treatment soon.

[flamron]

Yep - TMPCC doesn't work either. Nor does freshwater. Period!

:lol:it really does smell like pinesol, imo i wouls use intercwptor just in case.

can revive be used on all corals? It says it's for SPS so what should I dip my LPS with?
