Help!! SPS Dip?

@jeremy

 

Have been using Bayer for the past couple of years.

 

Bayer is the way to go!

 

Yup. Bayer Advanced. I use it for everything. I think it's easier on corals than revive or coral rx, or hydrogen peroxide. I have dipped across in it and they had polop extension right out of the dip.
Only thing that sucks is its hard to see if anything that came off the corals cause it looks like milk. It's good stuff. Just make sure you rinse coral in clean saltwater after dipping before goes in tank.

 

This

 

It won't do much for algae, but I always used bayer for every coral. It works on the central nervous system which coral don't have - that's why it's so mild on coral but effective of pests. Most other dips have some irritation or do mild damage to corals while being not quite as effective on pests.

 

SAME HERE!

 

Can't blame you for that. if I was starting a commercial system I would be ultra paranoid of anything getting in the system. Excited to watch the progress!!

 

Algae. I dip zoas in peroxide and tank water for a couple minutes works great.
Bayer does nothing for algae.

 

Here is a good read on the use of Bayer as a pest dip (agree it won't help algae)

Bayer insecticide as a coral dip

 

What's the ratio of water to peroxide you use?

 

I usually dip 50/50 2-3 minutes. Let it start bubbling for couple minutes the rinse. Polops usually stay closed for a day but algae usually gone within a day or 2.
