How do you dip your new corals?

Iodine bath or freshwater dip or any other method? im going to start doing it with everything im going to be adding to my tanks and need some advice. Thanks in advance

 

For zoanthids, I do a freshwater dip with Lugol's and freshwater (buffered for pH)
For stonies and most LPS, I use saltwater and Coral Revive by Two Little Fishies

 

I use coralRX for everything, I mix as per the directions in a 4 cup pyrex bowl with one cap of CoralRX. Works great for me.

 

How long do you guys do it for? 7-10 mins?

 

This is the way to go... and dont freshwater the sps though, they dont take too well to it

 

For zoanthids, I dip them every couple of days until I'm sure the zoanthid eating nudis eggs are dead. I would guesstimate 10~15 minutes. (I have procedures I WANT to follow but sometimes time pressures don't allow it). If your LFS dips zoanthids, this doesn't have to be this extreme. However, most LFS don't dip nor quarantine.....they just don't have the manpower for it.

 

thanks guys! im starting to get more expensive zoas and i dont want those to start going on me
