I have reef epoxy and an entire evening of drilling and re dipping in my near future

Me too I hate the aquaculture bases!

I dip for a good 5-8 minutes in Revive. I wouldn`t dip as long in other dips though unless directed. I just know revive is very easy on the corals even though it smells like pine sol! I usually see polyp extension hours after dipping and no fading.

The nice thing about chopping off the base too is that you can superglue gel the coral to a piece of smaller rubble and then epoxy that to your LR. So much more natural looking.

What I actually do though is glue it to rubble and then glue an acrylic rod underneath. My LR has holes drilled all through out and I then just place the rods on the bottom of the corals in the holes. I can move stuff all over if needed. Can`t see the acrylic.
