    Wow, thanks for the great in-depth explanation. Others kinda skip over this topic.

    I have been using coral rx for the last few years. I also can confirm that it works. I didn't think to do a second rinse. Will have to add that to my process as well. Love the way your tank stays clean. I am currently battling a red algae outbreak in my tank.

      Why waste money when you can but dettol for £1 and it does exactly the same as that expensive rubbish

    Great video
    I just used Coral Rx on my new coral purchase . I got the Coral rx from my mystery reef box. I then glued them on Frag plugs. Which also came in the mystery reef box.

    Maybe a stupid question but do you acclimatise the corals by dripping first then dip or do people do one or the other?

      Cheap gel super glue. You’ll waste what isn’t used so may as well keep it light on the wallet

    How do you go about acclimating corals when you dip them?

    • @-Wreckanize-
      @-Wreckanize- 4 роки тому +1

      corals don't need to be acclimated in my experience. They don't have nervous systems like fish. They do, however, need to be acclimated to your light. This is simply done by placing them on the sand for a week then moving to the desired spot.

    On the bottle they say to add a powerhead or stir water the whole time! I watched several videos and no one is saying to do that so after I too out my torch and the duncan they were all slimy and the others had closed up and look like the dip ate the tissue down to the skeleton on some. I had a batch of 18 corals to dip. Now some are looking better and opening. Torch was super slimey and look like it has melted some..is that normal for them to slime after being dipped? I sure hope it makes it! BUt after reading further to use a powerhead I figured I killed most of them since I dint and just followed a few videos! Not one hitchhiker either! Unique corals has some clean corals. After my localLFS sold me some with aptasia under them that popped out a few weeks later I wasnt going to take any chances. I seriously don't see how that Bayer insect stuff dosnt kill the sensitive corals!
