You could "Pop-N-Drop" but I don't recommend it.Wait, we're supposed to dip acros?
I use Bayer since it is the most gentle and works on anything. I don't like that the old formula was supposed to be hard to bees, so I take care and make sure that it is inert by letting it sit for a day or two before pouring it around my foundation.
I have a Bayer stash from a few years ago and I heard that the formula changed, so make sure before you buy.
Edit - for the routine, I float, dip in Bayer, remount on new frag plugs, put in a QT/Frag tank to observe. Sometimes I do not remount if I know the seller really well.
I just bought a new Bayers complete and was worried about there being a different formula but it worked exactly the same. No stress on the acros I dipped. They didn't have any pests but I saw pods dropping like flies.I use Bayer since it is the most gentle and works on anything.

I have the different labels of Bayer on my local forum. I’ll see if I can find it and post up.I just bought a new Bayers complete and was worried about there being a different formula but it worked exactly the same. No stress on the acros I dipped.

Great info, thanks for the heads up on the soil & turf type.Make sure you do not buy the one that has “Soil and Turf” in big cap letters. It does have different ingredients. @reef_daddy can tell you more about his experience.
Even the other bottle has soil and turf, but it’s in lower case. Apparently that makes a difference in ingredients. When I go to Lowe’s I’ll get both bottles and take side by side pics of the front and back and post it here.Great info, thanks for the heads up on the soil & turf type.
I sat there for a minute trying to remember if the original was "rainproof" but chalked it up to one more reason to cut frag plugs off
Does it seem to be better or about the same?I used Bayer for the last couple years but recently switched to polyplab primer and expel together in one solution for 5 minutes.
Hard to say. I’ve only used it twice but the corals were really clean. One had an acro crab that immediately jumped off as soon as it hit the dip. I was able to save it but haven’t seen it since. I was told by another hobbyists that this is what battlecorals uses and it’ll kill everything. I have 2 qt’s. First qt is really just a holding/observing tank, mainly for shipped corals bc I don’t like dipping right out of the bag. Then they get removed from their base and dipped and go into my main qt where they will stay for a couple week before a second base removal and dip then they go in a side frag tank that’s plumbed into my DT. There’s a 6 line and 5 peppermint shrimp in there in case anything slips past. It’s worked so far but I’ve honestly never seen any aefw, red/black bugs etc. I would even strain the Bayer dip to see what was in there and never saw anything scary.Does it seem to be better or about the same?
One of our dogs has bladder cancer. This type of cancer is typically caused by pesticides. No sense in taking that risk anymore@Chaswood79 what made you want to switch?
