Using Bayer as coral dip.

[pickupman66]

WOW, very strange.

I dipped my garf Bonzai, and it has not been colored up since. browned out. I also lost a bunch of tissue on it I just noticed last night. it was all in the shaded part of it. not sure if that is because of hte LED's or the dip. also my acro ceralis was dipped and it lost color too. along with a few others I cannot remember the name of.

it seems the amount of dip used varies very widely across the board.

I wonder if your corals were already stressed due to aefw.

Typed from my phone, because I have nothing better to do.

Possibly. I didnt notice if the Garf was, but it was dipped anyways. I had a ton of current in the bin I used too. I had a MJ 1200 with the Prop mod in 6 gallons of water.

Maybe. I only use a blaster and shake the coral on the dip for a while

This is my green acro colony that I had a acro eating crap destroying it. This how it looks after the dip. It looks the same as before I dipped it.

There are several bayer products and each has its own dosage. The blue bottle of concentrate luis showed is the stuff that u can use 5ml/cup. Other products have different doses please post a pic of your exact bottle not a link to website and well see who's using what product.

I dont understand. Maybe like dowtish said it could be from the stress of the AEFW

Everyone needs to make up their own minds about use of such products that are not being used for their designed purpose. I suggest you review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before using any such product and placing it in your reef tank with your valuable livestock. The MSDS is on the home depot website below and it clearly states that the product is highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates and fish. You may be using it in such diluted concentrations and washing it off before placing the coral in your tank but you should be aware of the warning. Also, be aware that the MSDS only lists the active ingredients for the current formulation. You never know when it could change or what the other ingredients are. You might be adding something like tributyl tin or copper to your tank without knowing it. See the MSDS link below. I'm just suggesting that you know what's going into your tank.

Why is this better than Revive or something similar and who the heck was the first person to try this? I'm all about creative uses but this is a new one for me.
