Where's everyone getting Coral RX in Canada?

I bought some one shots at J&L because that's all they had. I thought they were supposed to smell like Pine Sol, these had almost no smell.

I use Coral RX and kent marine MELAFIX.i bought a couple frags from a fellow reefer last month and there were aptaisia on the frags,so i used glue to murder the pesky critters:twised:

ocean diver 11-06-2012 02:22 AM

Glue?? What kind of glue and how??

Nano 11-06-2012 02:25 AM

Usually gel super glue does the trick

ocean diver 11-06-2012 02:29 AM

OK glue, how? Just put a little glue on it, then what?

Nano 11-06-2012 02:33 AM

Lol, that's just for aiptasia. If you buy a frag with aiptasia on it, you can just cover that part with the gel crazy glue. (its not for dipping) ;)

For dipping I take the same route as reefwars, in fact I believe is "borrowed" (stole) this method from him.

Coral rx, flatworm exit, h202 etc. No pests ever in my tank.

ocean diver 11-06-2012 02:43 AM

lol ya I know just for aiptasia, so just glue over them then put into tank with the glue on them?

Nano 11-06-2012 02:46 AM

Yeah it keeps them from getting light, oxygen, flow, food, etc thus killing them with out giving them a chance to reproduce

acepumping 11-06-2012 03:53 AM

aptasia x works AMAZING!!!!

Could you explain this process a little. Do you dip all new corals in a mix of all those things? Dip corals in each one but separate containers? Or just dip in certain ones depending on what you see after inspecting? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am new and seem to have a lot of them.

Revive and interceptor!!! :D

mrhasan 12-04-2012 10:09 PM

Getto method: Plunge the attached rock of the frag into lemon juice. Works like charm :mrgreen:

I think lemon juice practically kills everything (including the bacteria) in the rock. But I am always careful not to expose that to the coral. :razz:
