Can you explain "Bayer"

I haven't heard of this!

QT should be around 4 weeks give or take. And its easier to QT the same corals at the same time. (Lps, Sps, softies)
This is because those will require different dips and or lengths. Plus you won't have to worry about chemical warfare at that time.

Check Sps for red bugs, and aefw. Montis for nudies
Check zoas for spiders and nudies.
Lps I'm not 100% familiar with.
My softies just get an iodine dip.

All corals get a flat worm/plinaria dip. Because they can be in the rocks or plugs of anything.

And the reason for the long QT is because eggs are never effected by dips. So you have to wait for the cycle, hatch, rekill and make sure those didn't lay more eggs...
