dip

In the EU the bayer product for the bayer dip is not available, and getting in from overseas is a pain in the butt with customs since it's an insecticide potentially containing substances that are banned in the EU. What's the next best thing in terms of efficacy? I know there's revive but it's...

My frogspawn is shriveled up because I just moved it as I put in some different rock, but I just noticed these white dots on it that look odd. Any ideas if this is something bad? It’s usually in full extension when I don’t tick it off my moving it. Thanks

Fauna Marin has come up with a new expensive coral dip called "cili dip". If you look at this PDF, the concentrations suggested for different coral species are identical to those suggested by Justin Credabel for Hydrogen peroxide. You can find his research summarised here. Frankly, this looks...

This guy crawled out my torch coral during a dip. Not sure what he is. Checked the guide and its not on there. Taken Coral RX 30 mins to kill it.

I bought a pair of photosynthetic Gorgonians from KP Aquatics that will be delivered today for my 310 gallon mixed reef. Are gorgonians safe to coral dip? Should I dip gorgonians? Looking for past experiences with these and whether or not you dipped yours or not and how they reacted. Should I...

I have a stratosphere that is being a bit temperamental. I got it from a reputable dealer and looked great for a while. I noticed it closing for a day or so and not opening as much. It was closed and looked like it had a piece of debris sticking out. I tried to dislodge it with a pipet it seemed...

Hi everyone. I just accidentally dropped one or two drops of seachem reef dip in my tank. It's around 50 gal total. Should I do something? I figured since it's so diluted, I wouldn't have problems. The tanks is 1 month old and I have a pair of clowns and some GSP. Thanks

It is surprisingly frequent the use of antibiotics on DIPs these days. Some users know me as a reefer only, but I am also a doctor. I will not enter the discussion on holobiont and why bacteria are important for the corals… But I would like to create a HUGE ALERT about dipping corals on...

I purchased my first coral recently, a hammer coral, and want to make sure I properly dip the coral before placing it in the tank. I have read about dipping in CoralRX as well as dipping in Lugol's iodine solution and have several questions: (1) Should I do both back to back? If so, should I...

Hi, today I noticed some white spots on my clove polyp. It kinda looks like zoa pox. Does anyone have experience with this? thanks

What coral dip do you use? Are you loyal to a certain brand? Use depending on situation? Don't use it at all? Let me know down below.

The title basically speaks for itself. I bought a small Ricordea mushroom today, between the size of a dime and nickel, but it came on possibly the smallest piece of rubble possible. It kept getting blown over and off the rock I had it on, so I tried gluing that rock down to my aquascape. In...

Hi Everyone, So after some long painful searches, I can find little to no data regarding the dipping of clean up crew members, specifically Trochus snails. For those who have encountered an unwanted flatworm invasion, I think it is useful to understand that the shells of our CUC can harbor any...

Transferred from a 40g to a 100g. Have had the elegance just over 1.5 years. Initially was PO'ed going into the new tank then seemed to settle out. Now over the last 2-3 weeks I'm seeing some tissue recession. 1 week ago did a Revive, Iodine, and a Chemiclean dip. Appeared to be healthy...

We all like to treat our Coral with dip and maybe some of us don't do it or never have at all. I would like to know, what is the coolest hitchhiker that has made their way into your tank? Through buying Coral, live rock or live sand or anything. It would be interesting to find out if anyone has...

I saw this thing crawl out of one of my rocks during coral feeding, I swiftly took it out but am concerned on what it is please help I.d this thing for me ,thank you.

Wanted to share my experience with the effectiveness of H2O2 baths This whitetail tang had an advanced case of velvet, and after a few days in the QT was on deaths door :( I ended up treating him with a 30m Hydrogen Peroxide bath (following @Humblefish instructions) followed by a standard...

Quite sure these little fellas came on some recent frags, don’t seem to be bothering much aside from me. curious if anybody can ID them, they’re extremely small, maybe 2mm and brown in appearance, I’m treating with PraziPro atm after seeing it irritates them in a coral bath, however they’re...

There is a lot of talk about curing Rapid Tissue Necrosis (RTN) and Slow Tissue Necrosis (STN)Lately. How do people deal with it? In the comment section - please post how successful the treatment was - and why you used your particular method. Though it might have been better to allow people...

So I am in the middle of a battle with Red Planaria which has been going on for several months now. I've tried manual removal (keeps the population down, but it comes back), Flatworm eXit (corals do not like this), 12 Line Wrasse, and a Blue Velvet Nudibranch. Some of these have shown promise...
