Default dip corals

Does everyone dip their corals before introducing them to the main tank and how do you go about doing it.

I do. Depends what your dipping with, interceptor, or something else, or both. I inspect mine first, remove any good crabs, then its a TMPCC dip, I use the recommended strength, something a bit stronger though. Then they go into a QT tank, and about 2 hours later, give or take, they get an Interceptor treatment. I don't always do an Interceptor treatment because its very hard to her here I've noticed. If I don't see red bugs, I don't do it.

Add in the TMPCC


Mix it up


Attach the coral to a piece of styrofoam so you don't have to hold your piece for 10 minutes.
