That is so awesome, it was may first time shopping with them but it was a great experience and I have added LRO to my short list of online coral shops. Not sure when i will be in florida next, but when I am, I'm making a side trip into the shop.
You definitely should thank goodness I found this place and Ann and her team are all awesome and they care about their customers

So I got my corals in my tank yesterday had my lights turned wayyyy down. Now this morning I woke up and put my lights back on my regular schedule and leaving them at the bottom on the sand bed Until I have to back to to living reef orlando for a water change and glue. Also I tried a different method of acclimation which is I floated the bag for temp and straight into the tank. Did a lot of reading on this and I find it fascinating that corals don’t need to be drip acclimated

In my opinion, not dipping is like playing Russian Roulette.

What do you dip your torches in and in what concentration? Any torch or euphyllia I dip never looks that happy that fast?!?
I use coral rx, torches I went half amount as I've lost one in the past, so I'm lighter on concentration and then I scrub base lightly with brush.

So buying from a store like LRO I shook it off in some tank water and right into my tank...I trust LRO not to have anything that would wipe my tank out because their systems in person are amazing, they love what they do and it shows

I also do not leave them in as long either.
have you ever tried the same thing with revive? And what is the normal time used for a euphyllia? Saying “not as long” is a loaded statement hahaha thanks for the info! My euphyllia hate me for at least a day or two after I dip them.

I have not used revive, but coral rx states to dip 5 to 10 min on the bottle. So for all my corals I always go with the low end as pests jump off pretty fast. So to better answer I go around 2 min. Maybe this isn't long enough given I weaken the amount of dip, but I am a little on the cautious side after losing one, which may not even have been from the dipping process.

Thank you!!! I’ll keep all that in mind! Anyone else have experience with revive vs coral rx for euphyllia?

I use two cap fulls of melafix per 1 gallon of water for 3 minutes and have always had excellent results with euphyllia. I have Coral RX, but I’ve never had a loss with Melafix so I stick with it.
