Anyone use this as a dip. I have done a lot of research and obviously this product should come with a huge warning label. That being said, I have read about some folks using this as a dip as opposed to dosing the entire tank, and I like that idea a lot.

Any tried as dip? what is the dosage? I want to fill a container with about a gallon or two of tank water and dip a few pieces that I think may benefit. How long do you leave them in the dip before returning to tank? Most of the my pieces are responding well to what I am doing, but I have few tough ones if you know what I mean.....

I absolutley would not use it as a dip. If you only want to lighten individual corals, blast it around the coral, diluted solution in a syringe. Or ask the people at the zeovit boards.

On my previous Zeo thread someone had mentioned that they knew someone who used this as a dip. It's a very potent chemical, so I could see the benefits of dipping newly acquired browned-out coral in it, with extreme caution, of course. It works extremely fast, I noticed a dramatic different overnight.

I wouldn't call it a good idea to dip corals in Zeospur2 but I wouldn't mind seeing the results of an experiment.

I do some of the zeo products, and im afraid a zeospur2. I wouldnt dip with it and honestly i wouldnt even use it in general. From wat i read it just make the coral expel some of its zoos and to me that just doesnt seem healthy. If you want to get some nicer color try does pohl coral vitalizer. I started using it as my first zeo sup and with in a week i was getting color i never saw out of my sticks. Some that were pretty dark and colorless started popping out nice purples and blues.

This is a really old thread but it could be used as a dip for a stubborn brown coral. Otherwise the best use of this product is to dump it down the drain.

Yikes, why do you feel that way? I'm fairly new to SPS and have some that could really use a boost in color...
