why it is so important to do your dipping on incoming corals!!!

[Aquaman_68]

Even with no rubble being introduced into the dipping vessel...started with interceptor.....hour later I added levamisole hci.....look what fell off the back side of a chalice without any rubble!!! Once I put the levamisole in within 20 mins this bad boy was floating at the top of the bucket!!! Can't tell what the heck it is...nudi of some sorts...I roasted it beyond recognition!!! (thank god...I don't have to go to that nudi list to see what kind it is!!!)

maybe nothing....maybe a problem....you want to take a risk to introduce a nuscience creature into ur closed system without a predator to kill it like there is in the wild to keep balance? I don't..

this should actually have a sticky for another method that takes longer but is less hard on the coral than the concentrated dip:
