Thread: Proper Coral QT to avoid pests

    Default Proper Coral QT to avoid pests

    Since I'll be treating for RB and would like to avoid getting them again as well as other pests, what's the proper way or safest way to QT new frags and for that matter fish? I know I'll be doing an Interceptor dip with all new frags but I'm not sure how strong it needs to be and for how long. What can be done to avoid flat worms? I've read about Flatworm Exit, Seachem Reef Dip, Tropic Marine dip, and another type of livestock dewormer med. for the flat worms. I would like to hear what your Bug Prevention Plan is.

    I use Seachem Reef Dip @ double the recommended strength.
    Custom Acrylic 180g RR, acrylic sump, 45BR frag tank, 18g fuge, 250+/- lbs LR, Euro Reef CS8-2, 10x39W T5, softies, LPS, and a few SPS.

    You will need to dip two methods to kill the R.B.'S and F.W.'S.

    I tripple the dose on the interceptor and dip for 3 hours. I have never diped for AEFW but will start by using Fluke tabs and looking for any eggs to scrape off.
