Paratore Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm pretty sure I heard they discontinued the kind that people were using for their reefs. Edit: I stand corrected lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharklover Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 What is your process you recommend for dipping? Times, dose etc. I have yet to go that route with dipping but I'm curious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 BRS has a good video on it: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/video/view/faq-26-using-bayer-as-a-coral-dip-what-recipe-do-we-use/ the beauty of it is you cant over do it very easily. I typically guesstimate (most just dose till the water is opaque) and wait 10-15 minutes without any issues to date. Much more forgiving than CoralRx and iodine based dips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharklover Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'll probably give it a shot this weekend. Thank you.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Anything with Imadaclorpid and no other active ingredients will work. Imadaclorpid is super nasty toxic to invertebrates. You will see creepy crawly things jump off and perish when you dip. Rinse them WELL after the dip.

mattv Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 If anyone is using bayer make sure and wear gloves, the stuff is nasty and not ok for skin contact. I highly recommend potassium chloride as it mixes clear and is available in 99% pure along with being food grade. You can buy it on eBay at $16 for 5lbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasquatch Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I won't hit a few watch lists after I order it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People use it as water conditioners all the time, just like Calcium chloride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I won't hit a few watch lists after I order it? Ammonium nitrate is the problem child from the fertilizer group (think OKC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammonium or Nitrate compounds will put you on a list. Each of them are bad places to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
