Back in 2007 I was able to get my hands on about 2000 gallons worth of just the active ingredient in interceptor from a pet pharmacy.
I have been using it sparingly over the years in preventative dips. Never actually needed to do a whole tank.
Today I noticed a few redbugs on a new acquisition in my qt tank and figured I might as well blast the tank.
I probably used enough for well over 100 gallons maybe more like 200 or 300. My qt is 10 gallons.
After about two hours now I see a few of the RB's seemingly dead but what has me a little curious is that these guys

are crawling around like nothing happened.
the interceptor has been in a zip lock bag and opened up many many times in the last few years.
I did have to nuke my first sps tank many years ago with some of the pill form and i remember within seconds seeing dead pods floating everywhere.
I may be answering my own question but do you think i need to get some new stuff?
