Bayer insect killer advanced dip

[DRENALYN9]

So I have learned that my tank has the a combo of zoa/gsp eating nudibranch. As well as flat worm.

I selected some sps, lps, yuma mush and zoanthids.

I had three tubs for process.

I put 6 cups of water in bowl and mixed in 1.5 ml of insetct killer and mixed well.
I dipped corals and let them soak while doing a vigorous shake. One by one.

Then place in tub of more aquarium water ajd once again. Vigorously shaken corals one by one.

Then placed in 10 gallon tub with freshly mixed saltwater with all parameters perfect. I once again alowed corals to soak as well as shaken corals vigorously once again.

Then placed corals in a quarantine tank. And some back into main aquarium so I can judge pros and cons of how the corals were reacting.

The first and second tubs where i had dipped the coral. Were inspected and I found lots of flat worms dead, nucence nudibranch dead and those weird looking half shell snaill dead.

One hour after returning corals to tanks. The lps and sps looked amazing. Better extending and color. Tomorrow I will post sme pictures. Trully really do look. I am amazed. Zoanthids are not open but my candycanes, and my sps look amazing.

I do remomend this.

Remember to look for eggs, as this dip doesnt kill them. Kills everything else!...but not the the eggs.

Revive works so much better

Revive will strip the color on some Sps

Actually if we r saying what works better i would have to vote on bayer.... Cheaper and does what revive does but better

Thanks for sharing .. are there limitations on what you can dip using bayer?

So SPS, LPS and Zoos are good to go?

Tony what equation do you use.
I used .5 ml per 2 cups

It did show great results,
But after the corals were quarantined for 1 week, I used the revive and I still found flat worms.
I agree on the price. Its cheap and one bottle for i bought for $13 will still be around when my grandchildren are born, and my son is 4.

Please give me feedback about how you make ur mixture.
