Generally speaking, the need would arise long before you found out you had a (pest) problem. This treatment is not something you would want, or could, safely dose to your tank but rather a preventive measure done outside the display. ]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2014 13:30:25 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72311&PID=570822&title=bayer-insecticide#570822 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72311&PID=570819&title=bayer-insecticide#570819 Author: bmac2

no I didn't do tha bacteria.  I took my tube fungia to Rusty and he looked at it and said I needed to start dipping corals asap.  So that is what I am doing.

Good reminder.
Yeah, Barry was iodine dipping some coral to see if that helped solve the issue. Here is the recent thread:

Just to be clear on this. People use it as a dip, then rinse the coral in tanks water. Putting the chemical in tank will kill the fish. ]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2014 08:55:22 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72311&PID=570797&title=bayer-insecticide#570797 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72311&PID=570795&title=bayer-insecticide#570795 Author: Mark Peterson

It kills coral pests like no other dip I've found.

At low dosage dips it kills AEFW, red bugs, black bugs, sea spiders, you name it. I haven't found a dose or time where it kills Monti-eating nudi's or polyclad (giant) flatworms.

If you're bored, I wrote about it on my site.]]> Sat, 26 Jul 2014 23:21:46 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72311&PID=570786&title=bayer-insecticide#570786 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72311&PID=570782&title=bayer-insecticide#570782 Author: Fatman

We use it as a coral dip for some of the pests we get with new coral. Not for everything, but it works well for most stuff. Best part is it's like 8 bucks for a quart which should last a lifetime, unless you use it on your lawn too like I do. Works well for the soil borne insects. Not as good as the stuff in the old days. I found a quart of Agent Orange, 2-4-5-T, in my wife's grandmother's shed.

Thanks.  Just wanted to make sure considering there were 4 different bayer advanced insecticides for different things, trees and shrubs, then flowers, then the one I got, then another one.
