Reef Dip

🧪 Usage Instructions

Initial Setup:

1. Prepare the Dip Solution:
• Remove 4 liters (1 US gallon) of water from your aquarium and place it in a separate container suitable for dipping.
• Add 5–10 mL (1–2 capfuls) of Reef Dip to the water and mix thoroughly.
2. Dip the Coral:
• Place the coral specimen in the dip solution for 15–30 minutes, depending on the severity of the problem.
• For very severe cases, a double dose may be used.
• If there are clear and accessible lesions, you can apply the dip concentrate directly to the lesions before placing the coral in the dip solution.
3. Observe:
• Monitor the coral during the treatment for any adverse reactions, such as excessive sliming.

Maintenance:

• Regular Dipping:
• Use Reef Dip prophylactically to prevent infections when introducing new corals to your aquarium.
• Regularly inspect your corals for signs of disease and use Reef Dip as needed to treat any issues.
• Post-Dip Care:
• After dipping, return the coral to the aquarium and observe it for any signs of stress or continued infection.
• Ensure that your aquarium water parameters are optimal to support coral health and recovery.
