Bayer Formulations

[Miami Reef]

But my point was Bayer isn’t coral dip and never was. It’s just very odd and strange that whoever thought it would make a great dip.

That’s ridiculous.

Vibrant was a “reef additive” but it contained dangerous chemicals that could harm mollusks and was an algaecide when it was claimed it was a bacteria.

Just because something has an expensive reef label doesn’t make it safe.

With Bayer, I know exactly what I’m using and I can be informed on the proper safety precautions.

Why would I use a “proprietary” reef dip? I don’t like proprietary additives.

There are many unsafe scenarios in reefing and life. Just by dipping an open wound in your tank water can cause a deadly infection.

It’s all about learning how to use the chemical if you want to.

For reefers:
Muriatic acid
calcium hydroxide
sodium hydroxide
bleach
some test kit ingredients can contain toxic heavy metals such as cadmium

^ Those are some unsafe ingredients we can come across. Some are in everyday usage.
