What do you use when you dip Deep Water Acros?
I've been interested in Deep Water Acros, such as Red Dragons, for a long time but I never bought one mainly because I'm afraid I might kill it during the dipping process. I'm a Revive user but I read stories how Revive killed their Deep Water Acros and other stories how it didn't kill them...
What kind of dips do you guys use to dip your Deep Water Acros? |

Use Bayor. That is the only safe way to dip them. You might be okay with coral rx or revive but you are talking a risk that way.

Bayer eh? How long did you guys dip them for? Someone told me if I dip any Deep Water sps with Revive/RX, I should swirl them in dip water in less than 15sec...
