Fast5oranger Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Just purchased a couple new frags and realized I'm out of dip, and now everyone is closed... Is it safe to do a freshwater dip on all corals? Or is there something else I can dip them in that will reduce the chance of critters? best case would be if there is someone in vancouver that has some dip I could get tonight! I'll pay you enough for a whole new bottle plus a six pack of your choice. Let me know, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohaynow Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I wouldn't risk the fw dip on anything but softies, no lps or sps. If I was closer you could have the last of my bottle of dip. How bout putting the frags in a small container with a bit of flow and floating them to maintain temp till you can do a dip. Edit: I picked this thing up at a food service place, the nice thing is that it fits into the corners of the tank real good and its really easy to hold it in place with a small piece of tape. I know its of no help but I am bored again lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I have melafix as well. I actually never used it for corals. Only my fish. Let me know Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPaquatics Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Melafix seems to work well on corals. Ive used it to prevent rtn-ing after coral warfare. I have heard it works good for flatworms also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast5oranger Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Thanks a lot guys, I drove to a friends house in Battle Ground and got my fix! On the container idea, wouldn't certain pests be able to escape the container? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohaynow Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 havent had any problems yet, I usually only fill it about half way and let the rest float above the surface. I'll keep an eye on it tho next time I buy some frags and let ya know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
