[mic209]

I don't know exactly what your looking for but here is a link to a discussion about it.
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/bayer-insecticidal-coral-dip.244803/
Page #2 speaks to the mixing and dipping specifics. Hope it helps!

I also looked because I've read it on the cherry site before. But with new site it's not showing up. Pm Todd or Bret if you need information not in above link.

Okay so I wasn't going crazy, lol. I'm actually a veteran bayer user, been using it for the past 3-4 years, I don't even measure it anymore. I liked the cherry corals writeup for sharing with hobbyist who haven't tried bayer yet.

According to someone who contacted me since it's not using it according to the label, it goes against some federal law and the uses of insecticides. (violating federal law)
On a personal note, it's inviting insecticide-resistant strains of arthropods. (red bugs)
Of course that's all aside from the probable harm it's doing to corals.

Thanks for all your help guys! I really like the cherry corals write up as it said they didn't measure the bayer, which is the way I do it and I shared the link a lot. Hopefully cherry corals will chime in and give me some closure, lol

Does that person want to know what I did with the label on my matress? Lol. I actually pour mine around the yard after I'm done to kill any bugs around the house.

Apologies, I just dislike it that people are talking about it yet leave out all of the unknowns and known negatives, especially when they're fairly hefty.

That was on our old site. Our developer is still working on getting us access to the old site, as it was turned off to launch our new site.

I'll see if I can dig it up myself.

Thanks!

Cant tell if real Bayer or posts about Bayer bring more things out of the woodwork.
