HORRIBLE DIP! CORALRX

[SteveMM62Reef]

I use Brightwell KoralMD. Did you shake the bottle hard? If you look at the Brightwell bottle under lights, you can see it separates.

I use a quart container and add 10 drops and mix well. The equivalent if you use their recommended capfuls would be 1.5 capfuls

Oh, you said you barely dilute it. Sounds like you actually dilute it more than the instructions state?
I usually mix it as directed on the package.

I find it interesting that people in the hobby are so freaked out by bristle worms when they are so beneficial. Found this sponge and worm last night and immediately added both to the cryptic zone on my new build. I want worms in all my tanks.

Coral rx is a good product that clearly works.

100% guarantee you already have bristle worms. They aren't bad if you do. Dip isn't a 100% effective product. There are nooks and crannies critters get into that the dip won't due to bubbles, fluid dynamics and whatnot and you can't check every single one, stuff will get past you. Hopefully the flatworms all all the bad stuff that is hanging out on the coral flesh or skeleton jump off.

Squirt the dip in the hole and/or jab something in there and kill it. Are you going to keep the torch in a bag until you sell it?!

I have tried many of the commercial dips and many work.
I have used KCL at 3 grams per liter for years now with great success.
You will never get all the worms and they are benificial to your system.

Duh, meant the other way around. I assure full strength

Yep. I've dipped dozens of corals, yet have managed to acquire bristleworms, aiptasia and somehow or another a 3 armed Asterina starfish. Lord only knows what else has slipped in that has yet to be noticed. Dips seem to kill the less hardy stuff, but just irritates the tougher critters, so close inspection and manual removal is a must for the best chance at a critter free DT.

I certainly hope not.

so why dont you just dip it in the stuff that you think works?

I use this to get the dip into nooks and crannies. It’s from a old test kit, the attachment at the end is very tiny and can squirt the liquid into the smallest of spots
