Question: You don't put a pump in the dip bucket to improve flow, blow off debris and help the dip solution permeate the colonies? I haven't ever had anything crazy come off my coral, I always buy frags so they're small and USUALLY from fairly clean systems. I've seen some chunky amphipods fall off though.
Hi BRS tv said there are different kind of dip's? witch one is witch and do i need a different dip for SPS than LPS? Are there types of coral that need a longer or shorter dip? can you do a update video about diping maybe there are new ways or simpeler ways? By the way love the store.
I'll let Fragbox/March correct me if I'm wrong but in the meantime; I would not recommend using, much less dipping coral in, untreated tap water. Part of the acclimation process is to get the coral used to the change in water chemistry between the water it came from to the water in your system. Going from a system with 7.3 ALK to 8.7 can cause the coral undue stress, especially if it has been shipped. So going from its own water with the dip solution added to fresh water, then to the salt water in your tank could have negative effects on the coral. Add to that tap water typically has chorine or choloride in it to reduce bacterial growth, along with potentially harmful levels of iron or copper. I used to run my reef tank with salt water made from the tap before I got my RODI unit, and I didn't kill anything but I treated the water with a dechlorinating/metal binding agent (Seachem Prime in my case) before mixing and adding it. After a dip I would just have small cup of tank water on the side to dip/swish the coral in to rinse any residue left on it.
Awesome video and info as usual. You should make a video on how to qt fish. I know fish arent your thing but we could use some vid for all us new to reefing and fish keeping on how to keep ich and velvet out of our tanks for more sucess!. Thanks!
Kia Ora from New Zealand, it is indeed a yellow coris wrasse, thanks for all the great content!
That one is Called silver belly wrasse, a yellow coris wrasse is all yellow
That is a male Yellow Coris Wrasse, and quite a nice one at that.
You're making Tia nervous March! 🤪🤙🏽dropping all the corals!
How long do you usually dip corals for ?
Thanks helpful video

Is it important to temperature and drip acclimate the coral before you even start the dip process?
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for this
Do you use different dip strategies for different coral types? If so what is a high level summary of “decision tree”?
If I wanted to do a cup of water from my tank how many drops should I add?

I'm most likely wrong but I thought it looked like a silver bellied wrasse. Not a huge fish guy either.
Could i also dip whole rocks?
👌👌👌
Does revive help get rid of aiptasia?
Great question! I hope he awnser one day beacause I have the same question
Will it kill Aptasia and their eggs
Can you upload a better picture for ultra gold hammer coral on the website please 😁
Not a yellow corris wrasse. Because it is not all yellow. I have a say silver belly wrasse.
💣👻
Could you do the coral dip then rinse with tap water then into saltwater before tank?

A 14 foot tape worm
Canary wrasse
I had a moth come off my coral
Hi Guys, Aren't wrasses mean fish?
Ahhh definitely can’t group em all as mean fish, Ive had a filamented flasher wrasse and I have a Melanurus. They were both model citizens.
Awesome video and info as usual. You should make a video on how to qt fish. I know fish arent your thing but we could use some vid for all us new to reefing and fish keeping on how to keep ich and velvet out of our tanks for more sucess!. Thanks!
My Naoko wrasse and melanurus wrasse are both model citizens as well
