which do you use as dip? Lugol's vs. CoralRX

[jcdeng]

Just want to get an idea of which one is used more often and reason behind it? I have used both I am like CoralRX better. I feel that lugol's might be too harsh on corals and I have had zoas that never open up again (and melt away) after I dip them in lugol's. On the flipside, CoralRx doesn't list whats the active ingridents so how does one know if it really works as in killing all pests on the coral?


Thanks in advance.

Coral rx uses a pine extract oil and probably a citrus extract. Similiar to sprungs revive. I like coral rx. As far as killing the pest? Dip the colonies in a small container and look in the bottom after. It isn't quite as harsh as lugols but lugols disinfects very well. I am researching the bayer advance method. I have not used it so I can not recommend it. But looks promising.

Pine extract? That's why it smells like pinesol
