Both are good. I use melafix, cheaper. Regardless of which you use, good to stay in the habit of dipping new arrivals and anything that looks odd

Melaflex or Bayer. Those are my preferences.

I thought melafix is for fish infection... so u can use that for dipping corals?

Bayer insect killer it’s the only thing other the interceptor that killer red bugs on acro

Bayer is the only thing I’ve found to also kill polyclad flatworms.
When I get new frags they get dipped then go into 10 gal qt tank for a week or to to show any signs of pests. Then they get dipped again b4 going in tank and that’s only after 2 weeks of no signs of pests.

So, do you mix this with water? If so whats the ration and for how long do you dip? Isbthis for sps only or do you do this for lps and softy as well?

I’m not sure the actual ratio that is discussed on all the topics. I use a half gallon of tank water and mix in a cap cup of bayer. The water is cloudy and you won’t be able to see the frags in the water. I set a timer for 6 min and us a turkey baster to blast water at the frags while they soak. I then have a separate container with another half gallon of tank water that I let the frags rinse off in for about 10 min then I’ll put them in the qt or tank. I dip all corals. Softies I’ll usually dip for 4 min or so and keep a close eye on them.
