Jungle Labs - Anchors Away

[bjbass]

I bought some "Anchors Away" for my 240 gallon tank. The active ingredient is diflubenzuron (Dimilin).

Why is it sold for pond use only? It is the only source of pure dimilin I could find for treating my anchor worms. I followed the directions for the gallonage that they recommend and treated.

Hopefully this will solve my problem because three dosages of Parasite Clear didn't solve the problem.

Also, can you overdose diflubenzuron in a tank? I thought about adding a bit extra to ensure these things are exterminated.

Any input?

This is what Jungle Labs had to say.

"This is a highly effective product and quite strong so only suggested for ponds the dosage is for larger water containers but your aquarium is very large. You will want to keep a close eye on your fish and quickly put the carbon back in and do a 25% water change if you see them getting into trouble. Be mindful of the dosage which would really be only 5 teaspoons. It could take a week before you see anything happening with the anchor worms. Do a 25% water change and then add 5 more teaspoons every 6 days for three times. Do not use with snails or other crustaceans."
