Coral dip without QT

[EricB]

What do you guys use as a coral dip? Got some frag swaps coming up but I do not have a coral QT.

Bayer. I Still good to qt because you can't kill eggs

I have a QT for fish that I would like to also use for corals. I've only treated fish using hypo so it's not like there's been anything leaching into the silicone. I just need to either fix the MH that's on it, or upgrade to LED's (which is what I'd like to do since my DT is lit with LED's).

What is the benefit of Bayer over commercial SW products like ReVive and Coral RX?

With all the crazy bugs out there. Not having a QT strategy is not a good plan. Coral frags don't need a big tank. 5.5 gallon tanks are cheap to set up.
An a small watt par 38 bulb, small heater and a hang on the back filter is all that is needed.

I use to use ReVive and fell like bayer is 10 times better. ReVive left some flatworms on a rock and I havent had any problems with bayer not doing its job. Just make sure you use a small powerhead because it dosnt really kill flatworms it just stuns them
