Preferred methods of dipping

[Nanook]

Looking for some expert advice on dipping new frags....any dips, meds that you use?

Bayer advanced if you can get it, i.e live in the US.

If not I can recommend Fauna Marin Ultra Pest Control.

I have used it a lot lately and it's effective and has yet to kill any smooth skinned Acropora for me.

I'm pretty happy with RPS all out. It's a little pricey for the amount you get but I haven't had issues with it with any corals and that piece of mind is worth paying a little extra. I do have some bayer I keep on hand in case I run out of RPS for whatever reason.

Bayer seems to be getting much praise, it seems to work for everything besides eggs, which never get killed!!

Thanks for the advice.

What is RPS?

I used to go the interceptor, iodine route. I've been pretty happy with the Bayer dip and would consider myself converted.

Where do you buy the dip from?

From where I come, we don't have Bayer, so I uses TLF revive. Great dip!

Most big box stores with a lawn and garden center.I have used it with good results.

I bought mine at Menard's. I don't think they have those in St. Louis, but I'd check Lowe's and Home Depot.

What is RPS?

I think it stands for Reef Pets Solutions? I'm not sure everybody just calls it RPS.

I just started using Coral Rx. I am on day 2 post dip so cant say the results yet.

Coral Rx for 3 years & have been pest free. But really I have to attribute my luck to buying/trading with only known collectors who have been pest free for years and still following a strict QT process. Can't substitute patience.

Another vote for bayer. Been using it ever since I got my first sps frag and have never had a death or infestation of any kind. One question. Anyone know if it expires? My bottle has no expiration date or storage instructions. I know many hobby specific dips have super short shelf lives.
