Coral RX ratio

[Anthrax15]

I've started dipping any coral I get and was curious what ratio you all use for Coral RX to Water. The frags I get are typically in smaller bags so I don't have a gallon of water to measure per cap of Coral RX.

I just mix a gallon of fresh saltwater and then add them to that

Then the recommended cap fulls or maybe even one less

I'd suggest dripping them in and then once that container has about 1/2 gal you can then treat it with coral Rx. Mixing up fresh water and then using that as part of your dipping process just adds more variables- water temp, salinity, whether the fresh saltwater is throughly mixed- when ultimately the goal is to get them adjusted to the aquarium water.

I have a heater in my ro water so it stays at 78. May lose a few degrees but not enough to matter. It matches my tank pretty close. But that’s true I should’ve added all that. Otherwise you could shock everything

I use the ratio the directions recommend for all corals but zoas. Zoas I double it. I do a quart with a whole capful usually. I dip them in the bag water they came in.. So depending on how many I bought, if I get it up to a quart I throw a cap in. Observe them carefully and then throw them in the tank.

I never meant it as is using fresh salt water just mixed up lol I meant changing the dipping solution between each and every coral dip instead of using the same solution for it all.

For me on RX i go 1 ml per 200ml

Yeah Adam had clarified that before, and changing the dipping solution is good practice, that way you’re not in putting stressed coral in with other ‘stressed coral juice.’ I do with with my lugol’s baths when fragging.

yeah that is exactly what I did, I changed and rinsed every container used for RX,Tank Water,iodine, Tank Water for each coral just to be safe.

my hammer seems like it may be the only one thats going to make it

Usually I'll do a WC when I get corals so I can use a gallon of water from the tank I remove during the WC and use that for my coral dip mix. Then use individual cups for eaxh frag. Rinse in clean SW then into the tank

Feel free to help out for a have three torches and a hammer dying all my other coral is fine. We’re starting to think it’s some kind of bacterial infection

Please Help my Torches are dying and im not sure why.

Hi - I recently had 4 torches that started to show signs of stress and finally when one head (out of a 3 year old, 15 head colony) started to turn to jelly, I dipped in Rx knowing that my parameters were all good. Low and behold, these flatworms started crawling out from what looked like the...

I go like 4-5x heavier than the bottle says with no issues.
