Okay all, we have corals! @LRT , @MERKEY , @Eagle_Steve , @F i s h y , @fishguy242 ... Now....do we fresh water or salt water dip, and for how long? Then Revive and Bayer, but in which order and do you fresh or salt water dip in between....and for how long?? Also, do you only acclimate to temp or drip acclimate corals like for fish??? I know...so many questions, really should have been better prepared before we impulse bought! o_O;Blackeye help?

I've never heard of doing multiple dips. You are placing these in qt too right?

If you have it, I would do the bayer/rodi mix dip then straight into your coral qt/frag tank.

I don't acclimate corals :po_O

I do a dip in Bayer rinse in fresh saltwater then a dip in coral rx then another rinse in fresh saltwater. I will be utilizing a coral qt moving forward but hadn't in the pass. All dips should be as close to tank temp as possible.
I'm sure I'm to late and the fun has begun. Hope it all goes well.

I just start acclimation by floating bag for temp. Add maybe 2 cups of tank water over 20 minutes until temp is good then dip in coral rx for 5 min with bag water....use tank water to get 1 gallon for correct measurements.

Then swish in fresh tank water (not in tank) then after the swish they go in the tank.

If there are other noticeable problems there is cipro and a few mixes the torch heads use that are helpful.

Thanks for sharing us your progress. I think it’s great that the two of you are in the hobby together. At the very least it makes impulse buying much more fun
