Coral dipping...

[ScottR]

I rarely dip corals. I impulse buy corals and never buy dip because I tell myself, “I won’t be buying corals anytime soon”. Then I find myself buying corals. I know there are different dips. Some contain iodine; some don’t. I understand they kill things like red bugs, flatworms, bacteria. But will they kill ich? Velvet? Some say they kill them but some don’t. What’s the best dip? I’ve been running fallow for quite awhile now. But adding fish in soon. So I think it’s crucial as any parasites that have come in via coral will have lived out its lifespan by now.

I use two little fishes revive. Best way to be sure is to QT your corals. Not everyone does that, I don't.

Bayer complete insect killer is the best bang for your buck.. saved me many of hitchhiking headaches!

I use coral rx

I’ve used this before. Just hoping to find one to ban entry of ich, velvet and the like.

I use coral rx and revive. And I've never had an issue.... so far

Coral RX has always done me wonders. I even dipped some LR in that and boy, just watch those critters squirm!

I don't think any of them will remove potentially encysted forms of ich or velvet, keeping them in QT tank with no fish for 76 days is the only way I'm aware off to make sure neither of those come in on a coral.
