I'm new to the hobby And I'm planning on adding my first coral to my tank I'm lookin for some frogspawn I just had some questions ive been seing people talking about this coral dip or something do you have to use the dip on every coral or anything special when first adding the coral also how is the acclimation process. I drop acclimate everything I put in my tank do I do that with corals as well any other special advice thanks
 
The first thing to be aware of is invading pests
Not all pests is taken care of by chemical dipping.
 
I acclimate corals by drip method. I feel comfortable letting it acclimate for a few hours. Ph and alk are two shock perimeters.
