What coral dip do you use?

[The Aquatic Arsenal]

So I was just browsing around the internet while pricing Two Little Fishies Revive, and that got me wondering what coral dips everyone uses? I would also like to know what you use it.

I've used the Seachem ReefDip product as well as Lugol's in tankwater before to dip corals.

The Lugol's solution can look really bad (like iced tea), but I've never had any negative issues from using it that way.

Coral Rx.
I’ve been using this stuff for over a year. It’s quick, safe and efficient in my opinion. I have zero pest issues for all 3 of my systems.

We can agree on the dip but definitely not this week’s rankings lol

Dettol 3ml per 10 liters of water.
At 13 dollars for 1000ml. Will last you forever. Has no impact on the environment like bayer, and can be purchased in countries where bayer is outlawed.

This is what it does for me:

Depends.

I dip my SPS corals for my SPS only tank in Revive. I have Bayer but scared to use it.

For my LPS/Softie (no SPS) tank, I don't dip LPS, since I've done more Damage dipping them, then not dipping them.
No risk of AEFW in a LPS only tank since they won't survive without Acros to Eat.
Sure it's a risk for something else, but Again, LPS don't like dips (at least for me).

The odd time, my LPS (Frogspawn, Hammer, or Torches have some kind regression due to infection, I may dip in Melaxfix as a last resort...and it has worked on occasion,.)

I have bayer for my garden only. Afraid to use on coral also. Just better safe than sorry for my satisfaction.

I'm not afraid to use on Corals. I'm afraid to touch the stuff (ie open the bottle) for my own health or family.
Understand you need to use it properly. Gloves, mask, not breathe in. Ensure so spills on porous anything.
Keep the container you use as Labeled Contaminated.
I also read that when you ues Bayer, you must rinse the Coral, and especially if a on rock very well. Any residue if put back into tank can kill off your worms, and other stuff.

I always use Bayer. LPS, SPS, leathers, Zoas, even my bubble coral. I do 10ml per 1 cup of tank water. 10 min using a turkey baster to keep the water moving. Then I dip them in cup of tank water to rinse, then another separate cup of tank water for a final rinse.

Also, Bayer in now Bio Advanced, so if you can’t find it in the store, that’s what it is now.

I do wear gloves, safety glasses, and dust mask for protection. Safety first!
