I’m looking for a strictly academic/ best guess. Is the imadcloprid or is the cyfluthrin in Bayer ….( since they are 2 very unrelated insecticides) responsible for eliminating any unwanted guests as a Coral dip/treatment. Also, any anecdotal information on what exactly your trying to kill as...

I hear a lot of people talk about these dips, and where I live Revive is available at my LFS but coral Rx only online. I've found information saying that Coral Rx knocks off a whole slew of things, including bristle worms, fireworms, flatworms, nudis, spiders, planaria, and even bacterial...

Hi! This will be my first time posting in the coral threads as I currently run a fish only system, but I'm planning on introducing some coral soon. I've been doing loads of research on coral dips, so I thought I would ask what dip (or series of dips) you use to feel confident adding a new frag...

I'm setting up a frag QT in my basement and Bayer is often recommended. However it's always mentioned to do in ventilated area and my basement is anything but that. I can get a fan but there's not much of an exhaust. Should I go with a different dip? I would rather not dip somewhere else in the...

Hi Everyone, So after some long painful searches, I can find little to no data regarding the dipping of clean up crew members, specifically Trochus snails. For those who have encountered an unwanted flatworm invasion, I think it is useful to understand that the shells of our CUC can harbor any...
