Bayer coral dip

[Crimsontopper]

Is this the right stuff?

 

[TheEngineer]

Yep

 

[Yates273]

That’s it.

 

[Crimsontopper]

Thanks

 

[Yates273]

That’s it.

Not sure how you plan on using but I have been using 10 ml Bayer to 500 ml of tank water with no issues. Corals are doing well and I have found that it has knocked off some ugly creatures.

Did you dose it in your display tank directly?

Do not do this. I had a few drops of diluted Bayer land in my 50-60 gallon system on accident. 10 minutes later, I had hundreds of dead pods floating around my tank.

 

[Yates273]

No. I have 4 small plastic containers. The first container holds 500 ml of tank water and 10 ml of Bayer. This container I leave the corals in for 2-3 minutes. During that time I rinse with a turkey baster. I then place In remaining 3 containers with just clean tank water in. I place each coral in the containers for 2-3 minutes each time. During this time I also use a turkey baster to blow corals off. I label the rinse containers as A B C. C being the last step which ensured me the corals
are going back in the tank clean. It takes a total of 8-12 minutes to do this. By the time I rinse them in the last container they are nice and clean. I hope you understand.

Do you dip with anything else like reViVe or iodine? Or just the Bayer? SPS, LPS, zoas? Thanks.

 

[Yates273]

Nope just Bayer. I only have LPS and zoas.

I’m about to pull a rock out of my DT that has a Sunset Monti attached to it, that is currently being decimated by Nudis. Will this dip kill the eggs and all? And how long should I leave the rock dipped

 

[Yates273]

Dip will not kill eggs

Hi All,

Just wanted to confirm the 10ML Bayer to 500ML saltwater mix. Can you dip in 3% hydrogen peroxide after that? I heard this is good to knock out any nuisance algae.

Thanks,

I use double that amount of Bayer with no ill effect. I found these instructions helpful-

I have used Bayer to dip SPS, LPS, Euphyllia, Muchrooms and Zoas. Just make sure to not get any bayer into the tank.

We like to use 1.5 milliliter of Bayer for every 1 ounce of water. So for 2.5 gallons of water you’ll need 480 mL of Bayer. This may seem like a lot, but a 1 quart (946 milliliter) bottle of Bayer is only $13 at Home Depot. As compared to Coral Rx at $18 for 8 ounces, Bayer is quite the bargain.

I always refer back to Adams dipping regimen from @Battlecorals
