To carbon or not to carbon?

[jason604]

Can someone please share their knowledge of adding new corals with me I'm getting them tomorrow. Do I use the coral dip pest remover before or after I acclimate them? Do I also need to acclimate rock or just clean and drop them in?

I've never personally acclimated corals unless temp was way off. If it is, float them for 20 minutes in the bag, then dip before moving them into the display tank. Follow the instructions for whatever product you're using. I just dip, then move them to the tank. Depending on product, you may want to rinse first.

rock just goes in.
