Hey guys, just as the title says, how good is seachem reef dip?

I know it's not top-rated or anything but it's cheap and I'm a fan of that!

which bottle of bayer do you use? do yuo use different dosing amounts for different coral?

to answer OP's question: seachem is a reputable brand, but i believe coral RX and reef primer are more effective at what they do compared to that specific dip.

I used it in the beginning and it will definitely tick off some pests, but it also seems to bother the sensitive corals a bit more. Personally, I prefer Brightwell Aquatics MediCoral. Corals will close up will being dipped, but they seem to open up much quicker after MediCoral than some of the other dips I’ve tried.

I use the same amount for all corals i dip before putting in the tank. There are some measurements out there that tell you the amount but i usually put in enough to make the water milky. Bayer is gentle on the corals and i have never had any issues with it..

I've used it. I can't say one dip is better than another. I typically use it on damaged corals as a disinfectant since supposedly iodine based dips are handy for that. Basically the only dip I won't use is bayer lol. I don't care much for carcinogens.

this is more specifically used for SPS, or works for all corals? (soft/lps/sps)

I used it on 55 frags for a 20 gallon long I put together. Its what I could find local. 6 months later I haven't seen any undesirables in the tank.
