Jorge Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Ooops!!! I accidentally forgot and left a couple frags in Bayer solution for 40 minutes. I placed them in the tank and they still show color. What should I expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I think I recall Brad mentioning he did that and they did fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 That's true. I don't use a specific amount. I just add until it's milky and hard to see through the water. Let's just say it wasn't light lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuttleFishandCoral Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Just depends on the dose but they should be fine. I've done it a few times and turn out fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher Thinking Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 From my understanding it doesn't have any kind of affect on the coral. The active ingredient attacks the central nervous system or something like that. Since coral don't have one, it doesn't do anything to them. I think the only issues would be if it reduced salinity or altered other parameters too much. Even then, it would seem they could probably hang for a couple days. Although I'm not confident enough to test that on my corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
