It’s banned in NY, CT, VT,MD apparently. I’m going to have to go into MA to get some I Guess.
Have you ever thought about manufactures taking advantage of a niche market by making a product with basically the same ingredients with just a different label on it and charging 3x the amount for it?I'll never understand why people would use something like this that has no purity standards or ingredient regulations as it relates to our use. I've been using Coral RX for many years which works very well and never had any issues with coral pests. Why not support reef manufactures and avoid concern with impurities or changing ingredients for something not made for our use...
Yup. And the cost of coral dip is so low I could care less. At least I know they aren't going to randomly change the ingredients on me or have some impurities in a batch that will kill my corals well beyond the price of the dip.Have you ever thought about manufactures taking advantage of a niche market by making a product with basically the same ingredients with just a different label on it and charging 3x the amount for it?

- There seems to be a misconception about why this is banned and many folks believe that it has to do with health risks to people....which is not accurate! The statewide bans of imidacloprid went into effect because it unintentionally dessimates honey bee populations.
Very interesting info! Didn't know that!The chemical ingredient of interest is Imidacloprid.
Two interesting facts:
- As of 1999, it was the most widely used insecticide on the planet.

This is something that has occurred to me. To the previous posts question, our market has no regulation for coral pesticides, so pretty much anything can be rebottled and sold. I've actually wondered why no one has done that with Bayer yet. Lots of other dips smell like Pine-Sol to me.Have you ever thought about manufactures taking advantage of a niche market by making a product with basically the same ingredients with just a different label on it and charging 3x the amount for it?
Also smells very similar to a well known coral dip. Does make you wonder
Yes, that's the problem with all of the neonicotinoid insecticides.
Decimating honey bee populations around the world.
Imidacloprid and 2 others have been completed banned throughout the EU.
Bayer is a European company so they are phasing out these ingredients throughout their product line.
Our hobby's usage is probably the only one that's still reasonably non-toxic to the environment.
I can't imagine,....using such a bug killer, that won't harm or kill our delicate Corals !
Is this true ?
