ReVive in DT

sedor · 08/08/2009, 11:20 AM

What a bone head move I made. I'm getting ready to dip some SPS in ReVive and I have about a half a gallon sitting in a small bucket with ReVive in it already. I also have another bucked of fresh SW to replace what I took out for the dip (in hindsight I should have just used the fresh SW for the dip instead of trying to replace). Anyways, I accidentally poured probably around 7 or 8 ml of the ReVive water into my tank before realizing I was using the wrong bucket.

As of right now my skimmer is going nuts and i've got the drain pipe in a 5G bucket. When it stops going crazy I am going to do a WC. My tank is a 72G. Am I in big trouble?

Well its been over an hour and nothing seems hurt yet. I think the dose was a little low. I actually read an article on the net about using ReVive to clear your whole system of red bugs, and although it was much more precise than just pour x amount of capfuls into the tank, it also stated how many ml per gallon would kill fish and it was somewhere around 1 - 2. That being said, I would need to put at least 7 capfuls in to cause harm to my fish, and overall I think I may have added around 1. My skimmer seems to be back to normal.

Lesson learned however. Do not ever have a bucket of ReVive and another of regular SW next to each other. Also, always have water on hand for an emergency WC.
