Using Bayer as coral dip.

[iiluisii]

Yesterday I got an strawberry shortcake acro and an ice fire echinata and I use 5ml for 1 cup of salt water for 15 min and this 2 frag did great. Non of the lost color so if this two types of coral did good ill bet most will do great.

5ml? Or. 5ml? 5 is too strong IMO. I've been using it at .5ml/2cup water. Flatworms peel off. 1ml/cup is as strong as I would go.

Does this work for redbugs too? I have noticed the interceptor is very hard to find since they shut down one or the only factory. Most places say 3-6 month backorder for interceptor.

Interceptor is VERY hard to find because it's not being produced anywhere to my knowledge. The good news is that "Interceptor" is poised to be released back on the market by year's end. This comes from a very reliable source not just "I heard this... he said that...I read in the restroom that...." LOL

5ml per cup is good. I just dip a mint green table acro, green acro and an unknown acro plus a bird nest frag that I got last night and this morning the coral are doing great and PE is perfect. Also dipped my neon green acro colony due to having an acro eating crab (the hairy blue eye monsters ) and the colony is perfect this morning. Also about a month ago I dipped a purple echinata and its healthy and doing great. My next try is gonna be on the next chalice I get to see how it reacts to it.

WOW.

I used bayer Advanced Home insect control. .5ml/2 cups (.25ml/cup) works good for me. 10 minute dip. I have used as strong. as 1ml/cup but it really bleached teh tar out of the corals. actually scared me a bit. took a few days to really see some perk up.

all that said, I have heard of stronger dosing being used and it not killing the coral. I will say that Pocillipora DOES NOT like the strong dose. took mine 4 days to come back.

this is what I used. it is a concentrate NOT the ready to use version which is watered down.

I used 5ml per cup of the same as yours Lindsey on some "delicate" smooth skin acros like hawkins enchinata and a granulosa for 10 minutes with heavy flow, and they lost no color and had great PE right after.

The only problem with using this product is that Bayer could make a change in their recipe or ingredients, and we wouldnt know.

Is liquid. I posted a picture on how it looks like. To use it just add 5ml of the liquid to each cup of tank water and mix it. After that place the corals in the dip for 15 min while they sit in the container use a blaster to blast the coral a couple of times after the 15 min are dont shake the coral a couple of times in the dip water then after that do the same but in clean salt water after that check for pest on both containers the corals are clean of pest place them in the display if not place them in a quarentine tank.
