Coral Dips

[marinelife]

I am out of dip for my corals so I wanted to see what everyone uses.

I was using Two Little Fishes - Revive which seems to work well and Justin carries it.

Any other I should try instead?

I prefer Marine Melafix. It all depends on what the issue is though....

I use Marine Melafix as recommended ^ :grin:

I just need a dip for new corals, no bugs known

[Aquatic Specialists]

Melafix is a good all around dip. It not only kills pests, it also kills infections from damage and such.

Seachem reef dip I love it all in all i think most dips are the same just differnt methods of how to use it I used this dip and it helped cure some of my euphyllia coral. Great stuff

I use Revive and Seachem. Both work great for me.

has anyone tried Melafix on zoapox? I think it's now time for me to start protecting my reef a little better. I have some money tied up in it now, and really like some of the specimens that I have. Not to mention some of them are a little harder to find than others. I probably need to set up a true blue frag/QT tank for new corals and such.

have you tried the furan 2 mix dip (if I missed that you already posted you did then its cause im lazy lol and dont want to look back)

[ghurlag]

I have. It seems to work as a reactive treatment, but is that really something I would want to treat everything in when I get it? I wouldn't think so...

[Jshroom86]

are you trying to use this as an all in one dip or just treating zoas

[ghurlag]

All-in-one would be good

I use seachem for everything it has worked to help out against brown jelly disease on my euphyllia which i have read that brown jelly is irreversable, Or at least no one has had luck for getting rid of it except me lol. If your looking for an all in one make up your own cocktail. experiment a little just research some first. If it helps Ill let you in on my luck just pm when you have a problem and ill try and help as far as the zoa pox just do the furan 2 and everytime you get zoas please dip them in furan 2 first then sit them in a small quareentene or something (i use tuppaware dishes) and let them relax then after about 15mins i soak them in a good coral dip (seachem) bath and then its off to the tank after 2mins of soaking I start the acclimation drip on them and then its about another 17min its roughly a 40 min process i usually rush it along but it works evertime at preventing illneses another trick for zoas acclimate them close to lights out if possible so they can adjust to the light on there own and not spend all day in the new light after being stressed out from shipping home lol

My giant Wall Hammer had the brown Jelly issue. I used Marine Melafix, cured it right up. Very glad too. I would have hated to lose such a beautiful and old coral.
