Parasite Prevention Idea

I think that is a good idea. I would not have an opinion on which one is best though, not enough information on the different brands.

 

It could be a good fund raiser and I know I would buy some, especially if you show me how to use it...

 

Great idea Lee!   I read more and more about different pests that are affecting our precious corals and you are taking a chance on ALL of your corals when you inadvertantly add new corals to your tank without the proper precautions.  I was once very dumb in that I didn't do either a dip or quarantee.
  I would be interested in buying some also (if it's not the kinds I already have.)  I think that Mr Calfo would be glad to say a few things about the importance of dipping/quaranting and probably has experience with the different products out there that actually work.  Why not ask him???  and then buy from his list of recommendations.

 

And yes, I've heard that about Tropic Marine Coral Cure also and don't have that one yet.   I've used Revive and another iodine based dip (don't recall the name right now, but at Rockford they handed it out for free!)

 

Great idea. I have been leary about this myself. I have never used a coral dip before and have been lucky. My tank is starting to get to the point that it would be really terrible to get a pest (not that it would not have been when I started). I would deffinitely get some at the swap. Great suggestion

 

Do I hear maybe another donated item from a vendor?????

If you can find a vendor to donate it you just might be hearing it

 

I am not positive, but wasn't it Boston Aqua Farms that was doing the frag demonstration at Rockford?  and also selling fragging supplies and also giving out the free dip?   I sure thought it was.  Are they coming to the Frag Fest or donating? Just wondered.

 

BQF donated the fragging supplies and a different company donated the reef dip. Honestly anything over zoa nudis and basic soft coral bugs, reef dips won't touch.

 

quarantine is still the best method. I dip somethings, but still like a good 4-6 alone time for new things.

Having ran about half willy nilly for a couple years I ended up with red bugs. It changes your perspective a bit when you fight the litte bugs for months to erradication.
