I would like to know what you guys are using to dip coral before they go in the tank?
I have searched but I dont think there is a thread that lists all precedures. I have dipped in the past according to what I have read what little information I have gathered.
I recieved a frag the other day that had a few flatworms on it. I put the frag in a small bowl and put 20 drops in this small bowl (about 4 cups of water) of flatworm exit and let sit for an hour. The flatworms where still alive. Now thats alot for only 4 cups of water isnt it? I ended up manually removing them but what if there where eggs on it?
Now this week I have an order coming in and I havent found a treatment that will work other than interceptor. Interceptor is the only thing I have found that actually works. Only problem is it only works for red bugs that I have found. Iodine hasnt actually killed anythig either in my experince. Iodine IMO only helps for stress.
What treatment (s) actually do work battleing against other pest like AEFW? Zoo spider? Etc..?
How long are your dips? And what do you use? Does anyone douple medicate?
Is there a good site that will list precedures?
Any insight will be helpful.
