Blue Vet Coral RX… what is it?

[Australian_Reef]

Not to be confused with the Coral RX dip what exactly is the Blue vet Coral RX powder? Has anyone used it?

I had some go to the LFS for me and I asked them to pick up some coral RX as I had a lobo that was looking a bit worse for wear and I was worried about infection.

They came back instead with the blue vet Coral RX powder. Very confusing marketing it has to be said. Now it actually seems this product may work but as a whole tank treatment.

It’s described as :
Coral Rx

• Anti-Bacterial Treatment for Corals
• Ideal for Freshly Cut Coral Frags
• Safe for All Coral Types
• Reef Safe Will Not Harm Denitrifying Bacterias

Coral Rx is used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial diseases that can be associated with fresh cut or injured corals. This package will treat 1514 litres.

But I can barely find anyone about it online. Plenty on the flux treatment for GHA, but absolutely nothing for this. Has anyone used this product?
I assume it’s some kind of antibiotic, but what actually is it? It’s a powder form and doesn’t give any instructions to use as an out of tank dip, just as a whole tank treatment. Which is a worry when there is so little testimonials out there.

Any help very welcome.

What the heck am I doing wrong with SPS?

So you think more flow would make a difference? I would have thought 2400gph in a 75 would be enough. When I get the $$ I'll try another gyre. I'm thinking less flow, hard to tell from the video.

Mystery death

Yes, I know. This happens regularly, everyday at low tide. But, if it doesn't happen everyday for months on end and then one day it does for 2 hours do you think it will respond the same way? I believe we can agree that OP issue is not virus. Looking at the original pictures and reading...

Coral dipping first corals

I'm about to start adding my first corals. I've been researching how to dip. I've seen many people recommend bayer insect killer for hitchhikers. I also see other dips for other things. Like hydrogen peroxide for algae and iodine for bacteria. I also saw BRStv on youtube say not to just...
