phisigs79 March 21, 2007 Share March 21, 2007 Zoas? LPS? SPS? Fish? I have heard of Ro water, lugols, flatworm exit and interceptor for dips but dont know how they are used as dips or what you can/should dip them in. I recently bought some Lugols but not sure if it kills anything like flatworms,redbugs, or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsarvis March 21, 2007 Share March 21, 2007 Good question, I'd be interested to hear what people do as well. I followed some directions I found online: bought some tincture of iodine from CVS and added a few drops in a liter of aquarium water, soaked for 20 min? Zoas? LPS? SPS? Fish?

Leishman March 21, 2007 Share March 21, 2007 (edited) Red Bugs: INTERCEPTOR (6 hours) Used for Heartworms in dogs Acro Eating Flatworms: Tropic Marin PRO-CORAL CURE (15minutes) Monti eating Nuibrancs (and Acro Eating Flatworms): Levamisole (15-20minutes) is used to: A) treat patients with stage III colon cancer after they have had surgery to remove the tumor, or as much of the tumor as possible. In stage III colon cancer, the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. B) deworm pigs All bad things on wild zoanthids: look on the zoanthid forum on RC the dip recipe is pinned (I don't have access to give you the link) It's fresh water, lugols, flatworm exit (from salifert), and you need a specific pH and temp for it to work.

phisigs79 March 21, 2007 Author Share March 21, 2007 here it is" 1. Using a 5 gallon white bucket, add 3 gallons of RO water. 2. Now add 1 or 2 drops of Lugol's Iodine per gallon of RO water. 3. Set your PH to 8.2 4. Set your water temp. at 78 degrees 5. If you have some Flatworm exit made my Saliferts, add 2 drops per gallon to the RO water to kill any Flatworms Place the colony in the white bucket right side up. Leaving it there for about 5 minutes. Then grab the rock and invert it and place it in the water 3 inches below the water surface. Now twist the rock as fast as you can in a clockwise and counterclockwise motion for at least a minute." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
