Dipping new SPS: who is doing what

[Dez]

20 minutes of Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure, then inspect after shaking it in the solution to see if any flatworms or bugs fall off. Then shake and turkey baste in a container of tank water.

If it's a smooth skin sps, then I inspect to spot red bugs, but red bugs don't scare me as much as Acropora eating flatworms cause red bugs is very treatable.

Same as Dez in this case. I also double my concentration from the bottle's instructions.

Revive for 30 minutes, then shake the hell out of it so all the little critters fall off

Make sure you remove the acro crabs before dipping.

I use CoralRX and dip it for about 10 mins. Kills everything except the coral.

Treated with interceptor while still in the bag floating in the sump for approx 3h (or whenever I eventually remember about them).

+1 Ive used this for a couple of months now and am very happy with it. Its amazing what comes off the corals when I dip with it

Acropora get an interceptor treatment overnight. Everything else usually just goes straight into the tank. However most of what I add comes from friends tanks so I already know the pests if any.
