Keep sps away from FW for sure. I do same as reefes pieces for mixing. Rinse 2x as well, both in tank water. I cut 3 used gallon water jugs in half for dipping so I can toss them after. Wear gloves then and pour used water around my house were no kids, turtles or dogs can get to.

It works for sure, but I'm tired of dealing with it and stressing on contaminating things. Trying a different route now.

Here is just a few dipped while breaking my tank down to battle AEFW:

There a lots of dosage recommendations. Battle corals has one on reef2reef. You will use a surprising amount of solution. Ozs not mls or drops.

Dipped my last batch of new frags about a week ago with this stuff. The instructions call for 1.5ml to every oz of water. I used a little less just to be on the safe side. Using 2 cups of SW I used just a tad under 1oz. I could not see the frags at all in the solution. I dipped for 15mins, swish each frag for a few seconds in SW and let sit for 10 in clean SW in another container. Everything closed up but once in my tank they started opening back up in a just a few minutes. I did not notice anything adverse to the livestock in the tank.

I have a buddy that did the same thing this is why my questions. So because you use much more of this product does that make this cost efficient compared to Coral RX or Revive? or does it work better?

I dont think its lore cost effective or necessarily better, but lots of ppl have mixed reviews.
