LadySaber Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Ok I'm going to be moving some of my pieces of coral from my 3.2 gallon to my 10 gallon and I want to give my coral a dip before I do. Since I have found nudies on my zoa, so far 2 and picked them off. Havent seen anything in several weeks, anyway still want to give them a dip before the move over and start dipping anything I bring home. Which is the best to work with CoralRx, Two Little Fishies Revive Coral Cleaner, or something else? I am looking for ease, effectiveness, and wont mess up my mushrooms, xenias, ect... Also I do not need a large amount since I have nano tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Bayer pesticide is the best, Google it, most people prefer it over coral dips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandinga Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Bayer. Mixed results on nudis tho. make sure to use a turkey baster or something to stir the water while dip in process. I dip mine for 5 minutes, no longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dip mine for 5 minutes, no longer. I've always done it at least 10 mins, won't hurt anything and takes care of all the pests. Here's some info on it: http://www.cherrycorals.com/news/coraldips/ I usually use 5ish ml in a half full red solo cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm sure dosage plays a role in how long the dip duration should last. I have nuked a couple acros in 12 min dips...pulled them out to skin peeling off skeleton. I'm sure different species are affected differently. I do 10ml per 2-cups-ish of tank water.
