Do you dip your coral?

[vinny]

I think I keep taking a chance by not dipping my corals to rid off parasites what should I use.

 

[Platehead]

Use Bayer

 

[jokersplayground]

+1 to this ^

 

[Technorch]

Always, always dip coral regardless where they come from. I do bayer followed by coral rx.

 

[Bobbofin]

I just use Coral RX

 

[GobyWanKenobie]

+1 Bayer. I also like Revive because the water stays clear, and it's easier to see if anything falls off the coral.

 

[Reefer508]

Always dip, I've been using Seachem Reef Dip for years.

 

[eaze333]

Bayer...especially for SPS.

 

[reefstarter]

if fire wouldn't kill the coral too I'd use that !!! Yes always dip , then dip again in 5-7 days and again after that

I use coral rx and a good reason why is I got two sps frags at Jay's yesterday. And a red flat worm came off one of them

 

[choff]

I swap out the plugs and dip regardless of where they come from. I also use Bayer.

 

[showard]

+1 to bayer I tear off whatever its mounted to: frag plug rubble etc, then do 10ml for every 4 oz of tank water. I dip everything from free stuff to my expensive stuf in bayer using that formula. Do 2 rinses after for at least five minutes each to make sure its all off the coral.

whats bayer, like aspirin ?

 

[vinny]

how about snails and crabs or cuc would ya dip them.

 

[CAPSLOCK]

I dip corals in revive or coral RX.

You cannot dip snails / crabs / CUC unless you would like them to become deceased. You can QT them if you are particularly concerned (or have a large, expensive system and would like to be cautious with any introductions).
