Dip?

[CoralReeForrest]

No not chewing tobacco! I keep reading about dipping your coral before QT, I didn't really see anything however as to what these dips were called or even if they were a good call to use, I of course haven't made it that far but when I do I'd like to have everything in theory down to put into practice. So what's a brand that's used a lot, or should I not even plan on dipping my frags?

CoralRx, Revive and Bayer. These are proven to be effective against some threats.
Problem is that none of them 100% effective and none of them kill eggs so having QT for corals are not bad idea at least for SPS corals.

[CoralReeForrest]

What about Softies/ Lps or zoas and shrooms?

[kismetsh]

I use Revive.

Pretty much all coral dips will have similar definition.

I use rps all out. Says it kills red bugs, nudi's spiders, pods, bristleworms, flat worms, invertabrates algea and eggs.
no idea if it does, but i haven't had problems either. (Not recommended for leathers and softies). It takes a bit longer for things to open back up compared to other dips, but i haven't seen it toast anything wither, and i've done leathers for half the recommended 15 minute dip)
