you need to be very careful w/ coral rx ..how long did you dip it? A friend of mine dipped some corals in there and some of the stuff didn't make it. I think it was in too long.

 

[Jakef150]

About less than 10 minutes

You got m/h lighting?

Sent from my Droid using Reefs

that's too long way too long..he dipped some of my duncans for 5 minutes and it killed the whole colony. I never used it personally I prefer to qt it's safer and doesn't stress the corals out. I don't know what it says on the bottle because I haven't read it but I would think a few seconds is probably better than minutes. I have heard sps can tolerate it more than lps

Pc-R and reefbrite LEDs blue

Coral rx I think suppose be 10 or 15 min then rinse with new SW before put it in tank

I regularly dip my corals (mostly LPS) in CoralRx for at least 5-7 minutes and haven't had any problems with it.

Any idea where your Mag is at? Where is it located? Is it on the sand bed? Could it be too much light? Mine started receding but it was because I was not dosing. It's almost back, just needs to color up.

they look like they were lying on the side with the dead tissue, like they were knocked over or stung, give it two moths they should be fine

Jake, if you would like I can hold it in my tank while your try to figure out your problem. LMK via pm. Take care buddy.

1 of my acan lord colonies did that too after I introduced the reactor after I was dosing for 4 months....it was super stressed out...but after 2 or 3 days...it was back to normal and even grew a couple of more heads... did you do anything to the water??? how long did it take to go to skeleton from being fully out?

I use revive dip , two little fishes. Never had a problem
