RSP all out "claims" to kill every possible pest including eggs. Don't know how much truth is there in that claim but that dip is freaking strong! It smells like it can kill people.

It nuked a colony of sps I sold to OP. He said in the span of a day(hours?) coral went from my tank and healthy to white. After dip.

There is a thread on rc about the rps all out. Pretty interesting but again dip cut and reglue on frag plugs is probably the best practice besides a quarantine tank.

Personally I greatly appreciate the heads up on the AEFW - or any other pests diseases that will infest or infect my tank. Also it is nice know that the sellers / fragger or what ever else live your selling will not kill the beautiful life I/ we have already watched grow in the tank. From here on in I'm getting some dip & certainly will be more diligent. Also Courtesy is priceless !

personally i think there should be a sticky about dipping and other coral practises in the buy and sell livestock , more so for those who do not know what pests to look out for no?

Since when did dipping prevent AEFW? C'mon guys, we know better than that...

Thanks Mike!

Dips have always removed any I've found. Not the eggs, but there are no eggs on the tissue itself. I always cut the frag off the base, dip, and I'm good.

Brad, with the utmost respect, this is delusional, haha. I've had flatworms transferred to my corals despite both dips and snipping corals off plugs -- ON THREE OCCASIONS. The solution? Huck all my acros into the garbage and wait three months. Pain in the ass.
