I hear a lot of people talk about these dips, and where I live Revive is available at my LFS but coral Rx only online. I've found information saying that Coral Rx knocks off a whole slew of things, including bristle worms, fireworms, flatworms, nudis, spiders, planaria, and even bacterial...

Hi! This will be my first time posting in the coral threads as I currently run a fish only system, but I'm planning on introducing some coral soon. I've been doing loads of research on coral dips, so I thought I would ask what dip (or series of dips) you use to feel confident adding a new frag...

I'm setting up a frag QT in my basement and Bayer is often recommended. However it's always mentioned to do in ventilated area and my basement is anything but that. I can get a fan but there's not much of an exhaust. Should I go with a different dip? I would rather not dip somewhere else in the...

I bought a cynarina from RAP last weekend at a great deal due to a section of dead/irritated tissue on him. The booth I bought it from said they had a tang that they think nipped it about 2 months prior and that's why it looked like that. I dipped it in ReVive for ~10 minutes when I got him and...

Hi everyone.. I recently brought home 3 new corals. While acclimating them, I set up my dipping station. 1 container with the Revive dipping solution (following the directions on the bottle). Then I had two fresh saltwater bowls to rinse the dip off. Well, after waiting the 15 mins, I...

Can anyone confirm this is a nudibranch and bristleworm? Released during dipping of some frags.

Hi Everyone, So after some long painful searches, I can find little to no data regarding the dipping of clean up crew members, specifically Trochus snails. For those who have encountered an unwanted flatworm invasion, I think it is useful to understand that the shells of our CUC can harbor any...
