I bought this food grade KCL and figured it will last a long time for the price using against aefw. Bayer works fine just would like to see in the dip. Is this product ok for this purpose?

Yes it is. We use that as our primary dip when we get new pieces in. It works great!I bought this food grade KCL and figured it will last a long time for the price using against aefw. Bayer works fine just would like to see in the dip. Is this product ok for this purpose?
So do use it on all coral or mainly acropora? Do you also use 1 tbsp per gallon?Yes it is. We use that as our primary dip when we get new pieces in. It works great!
We only use it on Acropora as that is all that we bring in. We also do not bring in maricultured colonies very often. More often we are purchasing lineaged frags use it on them. We do 2 TBS per gallon for 7 minutes. Then the frags or colonies go into QT. We then dip them once a week for 8 weeks to make sure that any eggs have hatched and the life cycle is complete. The corals then go into a seperate system for at least 6 months before going into the grow out systems.So do use it on all coral or mainly acropora? Do you also use 1 tbsp per gallon?
This is the best and safest coral dip for all corals. Its very gentle on corals and kills pests within 4 minutes
we use 2 tablesoons per gallon for 10 minues
Ok thanks for your inputs. I’ll try the 2tbs per gallon. I’ve read people also do 1tbs per gallon and leave them in the dip for about 30 minutes.We only use it on Acropora as that is all that we bring in.

It's safe for any relatively healthy SPS. I say relatively healthy because any frag that is very stressed will react badly to any dip. No problems with smooth skins.Ok thanks for your inputs.

In your experiences, is that dosage or KCL in general safe for smooth skins?
Sorry for all the questions, KCL dip is something new for me so just want to do it correctly.
Sadly no, i does not work on nudibranch. In fact I have not found anything that KILLS them yet. The tea tree based products does stun them. I had them for a good bit of time. Dipping/scrubbing weekly.Cool I learned something new. So KCL is good for AEFW does it also work for montipora nudibranches? I use Bayer but if this is just as effective this seems like the better option for safety and for cost
Hopefully someone with more knowledge chimes in but I’m not sure about nudis. I’ve heard mixed reviews of KCl on montipora and other coral other than acropora specificallyCool I learned something new. So KCL is good for AEFW does it also work for montipora nudibranches?

I've used this on mushrooms and I've had no problems granted jawbreakers I dipped started slimming and looking like they were melting around the edges so I did not dip them longer than four or five minutes.I've been using this and it works great. Anyone know if it's ok for mushrooms?
