Need advice for bayer dip

[Be102]

Hi all,

It’s been almost two years it feels like since if purchased new coral, but tomorrow is the big day for delivery and I was trying to refresh my memory on what to do really.


I have 9 frags coming in from California and was planning on using a bayer dip ( still had my big bottle from last dipping session). I was going to do them somewhat individually within little disposable plastic cups rather than a large collection in a 5 gallon bucket.. can’t find my dipping pump :/

I was thinking it would go a little like this


Float the bags in my sump for 15-20 mins to get temp closer

Open all frags into 5 gallon bucket and drip acclimate for a little bit

Fill 3 cups for each frag. All with tank water

First cup would be for the frag plus some bayer, next would be for a rinse and then the final would be another rinse before putting them into my tank.


Now the next question I was going to ask would be how much bayer for the little cup? They seem like the plastic rocks glasses that probabaly hold around 8 oz of water if not maybe more.

Thanks!

I always use small plastic containers to dip all of my coral at once. I pour bayern until the water gets a milky color. After that dip I have more 4 more containers to remove any bayer before any frags go into tank.

Here you go. I used this thread as a guide and worked flawlessly. I just use the same ratio and made a bigger batch to dip all my corals in a designated tuberware instead of a solo cup
