Im getting corals in today and my coral dip wont be here in time nor do any local places have any in stock. What should i do??

I've heard people do freshwater dip with RO water, I've heard it's a no no for corals like euphyllia.

I'm not sure where you live but most hardware stores and some general/grocery stores carry Bayer Insecticide. It's used by many as a coral dip: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/bayer-insecticide-as-a-coral-dip.100496/

Is this safe for all corals?
These are the coals coming in

Grats on your WWC scores!

If used in the right proportions. Many people believe it's even more gentle than the products like Coral Rx and also more effective.

Here's a decent video about it: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/video/view/faq-26-using-bayer-as-a-coral-dip-what-recipe-do-we-use/

It's okay for some softies like zoas but anything more sensitive like SPS it's a huge no no. I personally wouldn't risk the freshwater dip.

I would go the Bayer route.

3 ml of Betadine for every 1 liter of tank water will also work. This is posted somewhere else in the forum (not trying to steal someone's thunder), and I have used this on new LPS and SPS corals with success.
