Professor Polyp's Bubble Bath Coral Dip solution. I keep seeing this ad pop-up all over the place. Wanted to know if anyone had experience or use this stuff is it really worth it? Or just do a regular hydrogen peroxide bath for dipping?

I prefer coralRX as peroxide is an oxidizer and not tally effective as a dip and bubble bath is fairly new to me leaving me thus far skeptical to use it

I don't know anything about the good Professor's Bubble Bath, but I think that popular coral dips include hydrogen peroxide largely for algae control. For coral pest control, those in the know are now using potassium chloride or KCL, but other popular choices include CoralRx, Two Little Fishies Revive, Bayer Insecticide (<may have human health concerns) and a home brew called Kung Fu Coral dip or KFC, which I personally have no knowledge of. Many will also use iodine for some corals like torches. I have always used hydrogen peroxide, CoralRx and Revive, but I'm going to start to use potassium chloride.

peroxide dipping guidelines

I used to reference a table created by Justin Credible that specified the amount of time you could dip a coral in a particular hydrogen peroxide solution organized by the various genera of coral. Unfortunately the link to that chart no longer works. Does anyone have a copy that they could post...

Potassium chloride dip

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?

Bayer Insecticide info:

Bayer Dip

Dipping corals that I put in my tank is fairly new to me and I've been using Bayer as a coral dip and so far everything has gone well. Can Bayer be used as a dip for all corals or are there certain types of corals that need a different dip. I'm going to be picking up some corals I'm purchasing...

The best way to keep AEFW from entering a tank is to dip them in something that will kill them and not the coral. I use Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer.

Good luck!

Whoa what a great source of info, I guess they market more for what easy to do but trading it need 5:1 reaction is also not as easy to do.

Also wanna give that a try as well (potassium chloride) what would be a affective dose

I first picked up some of this dip at RAP Cali in 2023, and have since purchased more. I had both bubble algea and briopsis and was having no luck getting rid of it. I put a huge piece of my rock in the dip for 1 minute, then rinsed it with tank water from a water change, then put the rock back in. The rock had sps, torches, mushrooms and zoas on it. The coral looked mad on the first day. But by a week later all the algae was gone and i didn’t lose any of the coral. I highly recommend this dip! I have some videos of using it on my instagram: jmc_reef
