That coral Rx stuff already smells like insecticide. I guess another insecticide wont hurt
Totally dif. The coralrx smells more like peroxide IMO. The Bayer u need gloves to handle and u really need to rinse it off from what I've been told. Heard its 15ml per 1 gal of water. I have some but too scared to use.

In the thread that Mark posted, they were mixing it 10ml to 4 oz of water and some were at 20ml and letting it soak for 5-15 minutes. They did a good rinse after for 10-15 min too. when placed back in the DT they had PE almost immediately. The thread was a great read!

If you go through the thread provided ( for some reason link not working, I will fix it when I get home ) people are saying it kills red bugs, AEFW, Monti eating nudis and tons of other pests. Best thing is they use on smooth skinned across without problems.

Maybe you did it with the wrong product. There is few bayer product that the bottle looks almost identical but only one is the one that you can use.

If I remember correctly Reefwise dips their corals in Bayer. I'd call to confirm, they might be able to let you know their ratio and dip times they use.

I just lost 9 SPS frags from dipping to long in to concentrated of a solution. I tried 10ml in 500cc of water for 15min and all my pieces RNT by the next morning. I did a thoroughly rinse afterwards too. I should used some test frags to see how they did first.
