I just got a had full of some beautiful sps frags from a local reefer.
I just added them to a 10g that Im using to quarantine and dip some softies and lps.
Do you guys just go with same routine for sps that you do for any other coral when QT?
I'm doing 10%WC weekly with IO reef crystals. I also have been adding reef roids every now and then, probably once or twice a week, but very little.
Should I do a bigger wc? I am going to be dipping everything once a week in Bayer and then they'll all get 100% new water.
 
I'd dip SPS more carefully even.
Better dip them before they go into the tank so whatever is on them (if any) doesn't get the chance to spread into that tank. your water change and dip regiment looks fine. if they're staying long term you need to make sure yuor lighting, water temp and parameters stay in a good range and without much variation which is common in smaller tanks.
