Is potassium the best all around coral dip?
I have used Bayer and CoralRx in the past but wonder if there is a safer better alternative. Will potassium kill all pests besides eggs of course?

I know I could have searched for this question but I want the most current information and multiple opinions can't hurt. Thank you.

I’ve been using revive, hydrogen peroxide, and iodine. But I’m following this as I’d like to know too!

I know a lot of SPS guys have been using food grade potassium chloride, hence the reason for the post. After doing some digging I found something very recent from LexInverts on another forum.

He uses UWC expel for almost all Acros/corals and for the smooth skin delicate ones he uses food grade Potassium Chloride.

For LPS (in particular, the ones susceptible to BJD like torches), I always do an iodine dip in addition to CoralRX or whatever. It's cheap enough I'll probably do it for every coral in my new tank. Maybe it's just a "once bitten, twice shy" thing, but BJD is scarier to me than any flatworm or nudi.
