I like to use ReVive, I dip all my corals in it before entering my DT.

I use revive dip. It less harsh on the coral vs. using an iodine based dip like Lugols solution.

I like to use Revive and Interceptor, just to make sure that red bugs are not introduced.

I take the old school approach and do a Lugol's (potassium iodide) dip.

I dip 5 minutes first in Lugol's and then 4 minutes in Revive.
