Is this really true about coral dipping?

[Jonathan blackwood]

I was told by a fellow reefer that This type of pesticide or bug killer is what he uses and or majority of the retail stores use to dip the coral for any problems or cures. How safe or is this ok to use? Cheaper and more for your buck.

Yeah, it's pretty much the only thing that kills red bugs.

I would dose my tank with this stuff if I could . It's super gentle on acros . For example smooth skin acros are known to RTN if you dip them in coral rx or revive for too long , I think more than like 10 mins (don't quote me on that number) I dipped my smooth skin acros in Bayern for like 20 mins then fragged them right after no adverse effect. However be sure to rinse everything you dip very well, because if it gets into your tank your crustaceans are goners.
