Nothing more, still waiting on an evening to go pick up the glass.

We stopped by Red Coral and I picked up a bunch of sweet goodies;













They all enjoyed a nice dip in TMPCC, and are now starting a few days of lighting acclimation in our system.

Those are some nice pieces.

Thank you.

Very nice pieces. Could you please tell me what TMPCC is.

[michika]

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;

All mixed in


With a colony for about 10 minutes

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.

[michika]

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.
