Smooth skinned sps dip?

[Reefltx]

What's your favorite dip to use on smooth skinned sps?

I have revive but don't use it on Hawkins or red dragon. I've lost a few due to dipping them.

I use the same stuff on each coral. If you are having issues with the same dip. Shorten your time frame.

Try melafix.

Bayer

I use Bayer for everything.

Is there any side effects from using Bayer?
I was thinking of buying some but it's waterproof as well!?

 

[Robink]

I haven't seen any. Use it on all new corals.

Did my first Bayer dip yesterday. Various SPS, shrooms, and a paly. Other than a dead bristle worm and a bunch of pods, I've seen zero I'll effects on the coral. I went on the higher side too, 5 ml per ounce of water, and everything was open and happy within a couple hours. I honestly wanted to experiment and try a 1:1 ratio dip, and a 100% Bayer, but I couldn't decide which one to possibly sacrifice....

Try melafix.

Am curious about the recipe you use for melafix dip . Am always have been a Bayer guy but my friend swears by melafix especially for smooth skinned ones .

I've dipped Acro's in Bayer for 30+ minutes. Only thing with dipping that long is they tend to brown out for awhile. Smooth skin Acro's always pull though with flying colors with my Bayer dips.

I have done the same thing with my Hawkins Echinata and it's browned completely for the last month .
How long have you observed before they regain color ?

Do you guys remove the plug?

It really depends on your system and parameters.
