Seachem Reef Dip contains elemental iodine, which acts as a protective layer to safely and gently disinfect corals. It is effective against bacteria, fungi and protozoa. It can be used preventatively or to treat diseased corals. It can be used with hard and soft corals. It is also safe for anemones and polyps. Reef Dip provides a protective layer that covers the coral and keeps iodine in long-term contact with the infected area. In addition, this layer prevents infections from re-colonizing the wounds.
Application
Use in a separate container and not in the aquarium. Remove 4 L (1 US gallon) of water from the aquarium into a suitable container for soaking. Add 5 to 10 ml (1 to 2 caps) of Seachem Reef Dip and mix. Place the coral in the tank for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the severity of the problem. In very severe cases, a double dose may be used. For clear and accessible lesions, the soaking concentrate can be painted over the lesions just before submersion. Observe the animals during treatment for side effects such as excessive weight loss.
