Ice Water Coral Dipping

[Frank789]

Does anyone recall the ice water coral dip that Bob demonstrated at one of the A.R.K. meetings? I picked up some frags from a hobbyist and before putting them in my display noticed a bristle worm and what looks like a flatworm worm. Not sure whether Bob used freshwater or chilled saltwater and what hitchhikers the dip was good for. Thanks.

I reached Bob. He used 50-60 degree saltwater and the treatment is only for SPS.

Interesting. I would think a rapid change in temp would spark a RTN or STN on SPS. I get pretty psychotic with SPS dipping.

This is what I do (**not saying its right or wrong, but its what I do**)
2.5 gallon tank with main tank water & Koralia nano, pinch of Interceptor, leave for at least 24 hours, 20 minutes before I introduce to main tank I add 20 drops of Coral RX. Rinse in fresh tank water then introduce.

Thats just for SPS, all others basically get a 20 minute Coral RX bath. I have Revive also, but haven't opened the bottle yet. Also thinking about getting FlatWorm Exit and adding to my procedure.
