This is a tutorial for all you beginners who don't already dip. Everyone should dip their new coral before adding it to your tank just to make sure you don't add anything harmful such as: flatworms, nudibranch, vermetid worms, algae, spiders, pest crabs, and asterina stars. Watch out and save those Stometella snails! They're helpful. First step: Is to acclimate your corals into tank temperature and salinity water. Use a small bowl or bucket to either drop acclimate with a hose from your tank, or I use a pipette to squirt once every minute or two. (Use this time to gather materials for the next step Step two: Once acclimated to your bucket you will want to add your dipping solution.. If it's just from one one trusted tank to another you may be fine with just dipping coral revive or hydrogen peroxide to help cleanse or kill off some algae spores. A capful for 10 minutes should be fine. Use other store bought dips in this manor or instructions written on the side ***WARNING: DO NOT USE ON FRAGILE SOFTIES LIKE XENIA OR SOME MUSHROOMS IF YOU CAN AVOID IT. THEY MELT*** I always recommend something stronger and is a must for unknown sources or wild reef corals. Bayer insect killer is reef safe and will be your only hope for some pests including flatworms. I used one tube as I pulled it out of the bottle, but more accurate measurements would be 5ml-10ml for your bowl. (You can't really overdose this stuff and coral can technically stay in there for an hour if you forget.) Dip for 10-20 minutes; longer if it's from unknown sources or has visible pests. Setting a timer is helpful Don't leave your coral out in the air long cause Acros will brown or die if left out. You may want to remove the base rock if it has Flatworms. The eggs do not die with dipping Step three: After your dipping period you want to rinse off your coral and whatever dip remains. Soak and gently swish the coral in *A new container* of just tank water. Use this time to also frag your coral if wanted before placing. *Detailed Fragging tutorial to come* What is left over is all the bad stuff you dipped away. Look at those nasties Step four: Place and superglue your new coral down into your tank, and it's always better if you don't know the lighting requirements to place lower and move up over time. Enjoy! ***IN CASE OF FLATWORMS, REPEAT THE DIPPING PROCESS WEEKLY FOR 6 WEEKS***

Me And my furry son

Does my renters insurance cover that? It's for accidental pet injury and I think loss.. Or can I claim the bad flatworms stole it from me?

I just beat all in a 5 player game.. But it was my artifacts I just added that sealed the deal. 2 x Door the Nothingness.

Well.. I maybe selling a tank of around those dimensions with stand.. If it falls through I'd wanna talk about that Go Pro. Glad to see you're getting back I to it again regardless

Indeed I do have some of the patch.. It's getting to be about pumpkin time

What's wrong with this.. Expand their minds.. About coral

I wanna see how many 0 cost card types there are.. I just have Ornacopter form the new set.. I want to create and artifact What's a bruise deck?

I am going to make more typed decks.. I like the idea of tribal decks I want more deathtouch decks, infuse them with first strike Glad to see you're posting now tenderfoot over lurking..

Just wondering if anyone out there plays Magic, the card game?.. My brother recently got me into it and not to brag, but my Slivers deck can take anyone! If anyone else plays, chime in and tell us about what decks you run..

I want one soo bad.. But I don't run sand

I may have his # but not sure where. I know he has some stuff to sell. He got out of the tank business I believe.

Im going to love seeing you wild zoa collection.. may have to ship a couple up here for us too.. Also if you have some left over furniture.. I could use an extra sofa or TV stand for some moving cash.

Fill them with super glue!!!

looks like a maxima.. but true acan maximas don't shoot off babies I think... Is that right?

Welcome to the chaos! we need some pictures!!

I work weekends.. bummer I cant go to any meetings really.. but we may cross paths soon.. you can PM details on what you want or got Im going to be moving over the next 2 weeks.. so my tank will be rearranging for a while.. frags will be made
