Looking for experience with coral dips. I use lugols. But I know I need to use something else. Experience rather than what others have said/written

Hydrocloric Acid. Guranteed to kill everything..... BUT. if you want stuff to LIVE.. then Coral RX and Revive (Both) should be a staple of your coral frag box. I use Revive to heal up fragged and hurting corals. I use CoralRX when I actually want to kill something. I always double dose and leave it in there a good 10 min longer than recommended.
Lol. Thanks. 
I now use Bayer Advanced…..1 ml to every 100 mls of tank water….for about 15 minutes. Kills everything (maybe with the exception of eggs….don’t know about them.)
Just ordered some coral rx.
Just be careful coral rx will not kill red bug eggs the stuff that Paul "red fish blue fish" and my self use does if you plan on having SPS or do have SPS you should look into it

+1 I use this on everything ever since I had a stent of redbugs. I do 5ml for a 1/2 gal.
Not to hijack but has the bayers ever led to any adverse effects? And.how long do you dip with it
15 min in dip then rinse in tank water before putting into tank. Atleast thats how I do it. Nothing has ever browned out because of it if thats what your asking.
I'm going to pick.some of this up thanks
This stuff is safe for corals….haven’t had any losses from dipping. HERE’s the original video that got me hooked.
The guy in the video diluted 8 mls per liter, and I simply rounded it to 1 ml per 100 mils.
This stuff is a nicotine based insecticide that works as a neurotoxin. It’s a very common insecticide sold under numerous brand names, and used for trees, shrubs and turf, as well as ticks and fleas on your little furry friends. The use of nicotine as an insecticide has been around for hundreds of years.
I let the frags sit in the wort for 15 – 20 minutes.

This time of year you might have a tough time finding it…..it’s seasonal. I purchased mine at HD for around $12.
I'm going to pick up some too. Looking for the cheapest place.
