Red Sea DipX 100ML

DipX

Safe Introduction of New Corals

DipX is a highly effective dip for safely introducing new corals and live rocks to your aquarium.

A simple 15-minute bath in DipX before placing a new coral in the aquarium will drive away unwanted hitchhikers, thereby maintaining the safety of your reef.

New corals often come with unwanted hitchhikers hidden deep inside the corals crevices. These various tiny creatures are usually invisible to the naked eye, and once in the aquarium, they can migrate to other corals and damage your delicate reef eco-system.

Over the years, reef hobbyists have used generic baths solutions such as fresh water, Iodine, and even household disinfectants, all of which repel some of the hitchhikers, but not all of them.

For the past few years, we have been cultivating tanks with infested corals and comparing a wide range of commercially available dips and other repelling ingredients, examining both their effectiveness and their overall safety for the corals.

The result is DipX a unique blend of essential oils, without inorganic disinfectants. Our tests have shown that DipX iscompletely safe for all kinds of corals and more effective than any other solution we tested.

Corals that were bathed in DipX still repelled unwanted hitchhikers, even though they were previously dipped in other solutions On the other hand, corals that were dipped in other solutions after they were bathed in DipX did not repel anything.

How does DipX compare to other solutions?

Easier to use, sheer volume of removed inverts ranging from crabs, pistol shrimps, polychaete worms, brittle stars, amphipods. Because of the longer dip time, we think the dip is much milder. This led to corals sometime not even closing down (zoas didnt even shut!). Corals that did shut down reopened rapidly after reintroduction. Any pods on corals quickly dropped off.

Nudibranches couldnt hold on to the coral

How does DipX compare to other solutions?

I have used other repelling products that would occasionally kill a coral.. most often very suddenly. I am confident that the dip is safe as we processed probably 100-150 corals and only one seemed stressful

, so statistically I would say that it is a sound product not to mention the pine fresh smell that stayed in the farm until the next day.

Full review:

There is no doubt in my mind this productdispersesall macroscopic motile organisms.It repelled flatworms, nudibranchs and other hitchhikers upon test. We used it on some existing sick corals and lots of hitchhikers came out.Great for Zoas.

How does DipX compare to other solutions?

Easy to use and seemed to remove more hitchhikers. The Corals were definitely less stressed, recovered as quick (if not quicker) than other products. Has a more pleasant odor.
