Thank you.

Very nice pieces. Could you please tell me what TMPCC is.
|
Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure is on the website, just click under Saltwater products. In short its an iodine based dip. I dip my SPS with it when I get new pieces.
This is the process I use for dipping; Product and my preferred container http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...PICT0003-6.jpg Into the water http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...PICT0004-2.jpg All mixed in http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...PICT0005-4.jpg With a colony for about 10 minutes http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...PICT0006-2.jpg Finished post-dipped coral http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...CT0004_1-2.jpg |
Thank you. Do you do the dip straight out of the bag from the store and then straight into your tank? Do you acclimate the corals in any way.
|
I fill the jar with 80% store water and about 20% of my tank water. I don't acclimate them before dipping them. After they've been dipped I rinse them around in fresh tank water. I then hold them out of the water for about 10 seconds to allow them to slime up before putting them into the tank.
However if I'm dosing them with Interceptor, I acclimate them to my QT tank water first (which has Interceptor mixed in), then after my Interceptor treatment is done, I dip them in TMPCC like I mentioned. |
Looking good and great tips for dipping. I cant wait to see those newbies rubbin shoulders with their cousins. Please be sure to post some pics when the time comes. Was great chatting with you two today.

Curious
They all enjoyed a nice dip in TMPCC, Awesome looking frags by the way!
What is TMPCC , How long do you dip them for before adding to tank |
DOhhhhhhhhhhh scroll up...lol
|
I dip them for about 10 minutes at about 1.5x the recommended dose. Downside is that it kills off pods and acro crabs, you can see the dead pods at the bottom in the photo. Upside is that I may be killing off something I don't want to have in my system!
