KMiller Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 How long should I do a freshwater dip for on Kaleidoscope Cloves? I was told that there were fw in the tank that I got the frag from, so I want to be safe! TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The only coral i would suggest giving a FW dip to would be zoas, and even then you need to avoid doing it with palys. I would dip it in Revive or TMPCC for 5 min then shake like crazy in the dip, rinse and shake again in some tank water, then into the QT tank for 6-8 weeks, if no QT and you have inspected to make sure no FW are left then drop em in the display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bswe22 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 What about using CoralRx? I have heard good things about it. I haven't used it myself (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Coralrx does work great. It just wont kill flat worm eggs. In my case I just dip using coralrx per instructions and let my melanurus wrasse take care of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arredondojason Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 revive all the way i had red bugson a frag i got, mixed more then suppost to with tank water and dipped my acro in it. not only did it kill most all the red bugs ( took 4 dips to kill all them off ) but had an acro crab that sunk to the bottom and it dissolved the acro crab and does the same to flat worms. SPS is all happy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
