I like to use Revive on my corals before i introduce them into any of my tanks. I think that the type of dip used also depends on the coral, but I use revive on all my corals.

Bayer complete insect killer. I used to use revive but this works really well on pests (aefw and red bugs)

First time I have heard about the bayer method, just googled it and it seems to work pretty good. Thanks for sharing that tip. I use Revive and Interceptor (by prescription).

I switched from Revive to Coral Rx for everything. To me, the Frags recovered faster with Coral Rx, but every pest died quickly (not eggs of course.)

I use Coral RX Pro and have been happy with it. It is easy to use also.

I use coral RX or revive and they are equivalent in my opinion....both kill most things. I have considered using the bayer stuff cuz I've noticed it seems to take a long time for redbugs to die in either of these two dips.

I use Both coral rx and revive as well as lugios iodine. All 3 work great but as Caudill stated they take a littler longer to kill red bugs and other parasite. So I tend to leave the corals dipped for about 3-5 min more than what the instructions say too, depending on what type of coral. I have also noticed the dips work better if you add an airstone or small power head to the mix

I have also heard great things about the bayer method, but I have never tried it.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
