I was just at my local HD (Old Bridge), and they are blowing out current inventory at a good price. I just picked up a bottle for $7.48. And for me, this is a lifetime supply.

LOL, I am glad I don't have to worry about the price of that as I have never dipped a coral in anything. Am I bad!!

Still stocking it at Lowe's and HD in MD. Nothing on there internet sites in MD about being discontinued.

Wow! So, the official word from Bayer is that they have NOT discontinued it? I wonder why so many stores are pulling it?

From what I'm reading online, it seems Bayer was at war with the EPA over the use of flubendiamide in its products.

They've stated now that they will not fight the ban any further.

But I'm not sure this applies to Bayer Complete which does not seem to be discontinued per Bayer's website: https://www.bayeradvanced.com/find-a-product/lawn-care/complete-brand-insect-killer-for-soil-turf

Even if Bayer doesn't discontinue the product, if the big box stores stop selling it, it may become harder and harder to find.

I linked a story that Home Depot and other retailers are trying to reduce or eliminate the neonicotinoids (bad for bees) they have on the shelves.. Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid

Yea. This isn't Bayer complete.

 

[Elementalj]

Lowes still has it.
I guess they will follow soon as well.
Soon we will see small unmarked 1 ounce bottles on ebay for $99 ............ just saying

Dude, they did it with freaking DANDRUFF SHAMPOO!

 

[Elementalj]

Ugh..... :mad: don't get me started again.

I just laughed so hard I think my hernia popped out! [emoji6][emoji1372]

 

[Elementalj]

Looks like they gave up with the fight against the EPA, better stock up!!!

Know what sucks? Knowing and understanding BOTH sides of that story. I'd say stock up as much as possible.

 

[BigHildy53]

Any ideas on dissolving the granules since they are still available?

Just brought 3 bottles myself from amazon, the shipping to australia is going to cost more then the product lol.

was using revive before and most sps frags, they lose color or end up dead. Bayers hasnt hurt a single sps or hammer for me. Using 15ml for every 300ml of water. I think that is in the higher range too.

Better to buy 3 bottles stright out then risk it discontinued forever. Once it gets hard to find, going to buy a box or whatever is left on the internet.

That's high, but certainly not the highest dose I've seen. You might want to check out THIS post about dosing. I've been using 1 ml per 100 mls tank water and never had an issue.
