Default Anybody using RPS All Out?

Thinking about buying one. Is it worth it comparing to other?

Thank you

Here's my experience...

Dipped 5 pcs, killed a colony and a frag. Followed the instruction to the dot. Checked @ 10 mins and both pieces were fine and both flesh melted off by the time I went to remove at 15min mark. From now on I would only dip 10mins max and watch for signs of browning as thats one thing I noticed from this dip are browning and dried flesh. All I can say is this $hit is strong and you gotta be really careful. It's not as forgiving as other like Revive. But if I had to bet which one works the better I would bet this one based on the smell and how strong this thing is lol.

+1 on the "strength" of this stuff. The smell alone is strong enough to choke a human

I have used it and haven't seen any casualty yet. But personally I don't like the amount they recommend; it makes the water totally greenish blue, kinda scary I would say but no casualty till now. Plus this dip doesn't have iodine so kinda deep-water sps friendly.

It's definitely very strong. My biggest complaint is that at the recommended dosage, the water is so cloudy you can't tell if anything is coming of the coral. Also the coral continues to reek of RPS even after it's been thoroughly rinsed in a fresh salt water, so I'd make sure to follow the instructions on rinsing pretty closely, especially if you've got a smaller system or are dipping a large number of corals.

however, it doesn't seem to destroy AEFW eggs, at least I didn't think so based on the reef central thread on the topic. Since the claim to kill eggs was the main thing that set this apart from the other dips, and I don't like that I can't see what's coming off the coral, I'm not sure I prefer this product.

I have used it on two occasions on sps. Followed the directions to the letter.
After rinsing, I placed my frags into the QT for 24 hrs and then back to DT.
No problems.
