Coral dip question

[pramberg]

I'm about to do my 1st coral dip on 3 different frags I picked up today. My question is, do I need to mix a gallon of water with the dip solution for each coral, so one gallon at a time and rinse and repeat, or...do I do a dip on all 3 at once? They would all probably fit in a gallon.

I would dip them seperatly, just to see what comes off of what.JMO

I just proportion to the amount of water I'm using.

I usually dip all mine then if stuff does come out do another swirl in a few.

what dip are you using?

ReVive Coral Cleaner on the recommendation from Li at SWE

Good luck! Thanks for the trade

I use Revive at double strength, never a problem.

How long??

I do seachem reef dip (iodine) and revive for 5-10 minutes. I dip everything at once. I also never use a full gallon, I use like 1-2 pints in a specimen container. Has been working fine for me.

EDIT: To clarify I also reduce the amount of iodine/revive so it's the same concentration as if you were to mix up a full gallon.

Good to know. Thanks

Do you make up a batch of each, or just put the Seachem and Revive into the same dipping container? They don't seem to interact with each other?

I put them together. I was curious about the interaction of them both but after some anecdotal research on RC etc I decided it would probably be fine.

AFAIK the Seachem dip is basically just a specific form of iodine and Revive I believe is a natural based organic cleaner so neither are too fancy.

Revive double strength no more than 5 minutes.
