I temp float corals for 20-30 minutes, then I test salinity and alk to see how far off they are. If they are within range I'll fill a container up with fresh tank water. I dose 10ml of bayer for every 4 Oz of tank water. I let them sit for 15 minutes in the dip. I then fill up another container with fresh tank water. I pull each frag out of the dip individually, give them a good shake and then give them another good shake in the fresh tank water as the rinse. If the plugs are dirty I'll cut off and glue to a new one.

They lost some color on the trip home and the dip (bayer) but I think they will all recover and color up nicely.

More info in my build thread

Did you get the homewrecker from renton? I stopped at his house the Friday before and he had a bunch of the homewreckers fragged up. Man is his system nice! Sure is talented.

Here's a few of my goodies. I did have a few montis bleach out on me (and one that was dead before I got home grrrrrr). I also lost a tubbs behind the rock work somewhere that I am hoping my urchin will pick up for me, and my pretty rock nem from frost decided he likes the back of the tank better then the front where I can see him:p the shroom tank got some nice new additions though, and luckily that tank is so small it's hard to loose anything in it lol.

True, but phones are just so much more convenient;) I can't even bring myself to adjust the WB on the dslr because all I have to do is push a button on my phone to do the same thing lol. Hey! Did you have the gender reveal party yet? My guess is blue;)
