Storage Interceptor pill in solid form or in RO water ?

[Charles Silva]

Hi all

I'm going to use part of an Interceptor pill to treat some SPS coral out of tank.

Can I dissolve the rest of the pill in a RO water to store it ?
I'm planning to use it in the future as a coral dip solution to treat my new frags.
Is the medication stable to keep in RO water or is it better to keep in the solid form ?

It has chemical functional groups in it (such as esters and oximes) that may slowly hydrolyze in water, so I'd store it dry.

And not in the freezer.

Question. I give my dog interceptor plus. Can I use that? It has praziquantel in it also

I don't know the effects of adding another drug at that ratio made for dogs.

I did it. No ill effects that I can tell. How long should I wait before returning shrimp and crabs to tank after the third treatment
