acclimation question

[Gtt1988]

I was wondering why people use revive then pro coral cure, then flatworm exit. isnt pro cure the same as flat worm exit except more harsh? would a simple 15 min bath in pro coral cures iodine be good enough?

FWE is unecessary although it is also very mild and doesnt really add much stress

procoral cure, or any iodine based stuff is very stressful in itself, and unecessary

Use coralRx.

Using a bunch of different dips doesnt insure you are doing a good job.

Ive said this many times: Everyone who hasnt already experienced AEFW's would be doing themselves a great favor by instead of blindly dipping with any kind of dip, try to get your hands on some coral infected with aefw's. Keep keep them alive in a bucket or small tank for a while so you can play with them some, and prove first hand for yourself what it really takes to get these worms off of the coral.

until you do that, you are just guessing. If you are using a bunch of different concoctions at the same time, you are simply needlessly stressing your new corals out without even ensuring you are getting it done in the first place
