fishboys Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 How much per gallon should I use per gallon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I have read it should look like skim milk. Not sure how much that is though. I have been looking for it where did you find it at? The local HD had none as it is that time of year and they do not order anymore until spring....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paratore Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I was always told to just pour enough in so that it was milky and you couldn't see the frags. Been doing that for a little while and I've never noticed any ill effects. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoringDave Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Bimart had it when I was last there. Sandy bimart anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I use 5-10ml per cup. If you are doing frags, you shouldnt need more than a few cups of water... When we dip large batches(hundreds of corals) we use about 5 gallons of water:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboys Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 thanks, I used my RX due to not knowing for sure how much to use, next time I will use the bayer. Some of you might know that I lost all my monties due to not dipping. So I learned my lesson. I still wonder if the eggs could survive a dip?

Yes those monti eating nudis suck.....I had a fight with those years ago on my last tank and they wiped out pretty much everything..... I learned my lesson on those things.
