Reef Dip contains elemental iodine complexed to a protective slime coat designed for the safe and gentle disinfection of corals. This advanced formulation is effective against bacteria, fungus, and protozoans, making it ideal for both prophylactic use and treatment of diseased specimens. It is safe for use with a wide variety of marine life, including stony and soft corals, anemones, and polyps.
Why It's Different
Reef Dip’s unique protective slime coat covers the coral, holding iodine in contact with infected areas for extended periods. This barrier not only enhances the disinfecting action but also prevents reinfection by blocking pathogens from re-entering the treated site.
Directions for Use
Use Reef Dip exclusively in a separate dip container—not directly in the aquarium. Begin by removing 4 liters (1 gallon) of water from the source aquarium into a suitable container for dipping. Add 5 mL (1 capful) of Reef Dip and mix thoroughly. Submerge the coral specimen in the dip for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the severity of the condition. For severe infections, a double dose can be applied. When lesions are clear and accessible, the concentrate may be painted directly onto the affected areas before dipping. Monitor the animals closely during treatment for any adverse reactions, such as excessive sliming. The prepared dip solution remains effective for up to one day and should be discarded thereafter.
This marine conditioner is an essential tool for maintaining healthy reef environments by providing a reliable, gentle, and effective method to protect and treat valuable coral specimens, ensuring vibrant and thriving aquatic displays.
