Full review:
“The experience with the dip has been positive. In my experience no dip repels the nudibranchs, but just stuns them for a while. Our first test was a single Monti that had visible damage from nudis… it was very clear that the nudis were unable to hold on to the coral and fell off without any agitation of the water. I have not seen this before with any other dip.
We then decided to set up a full dipping station with about 4-5 liters of dip (made to the strength shown on the bottle), we installed a tiny 750l/hr return pump with enough flow to blow all the corals. We processed about half of one coral tray of Montis, an Acropora that had Acropora eating flatworms and I think a coral with polyclad. Anything on a coral was removed, including Asterina, Bristleworms, crabs, nudis, isopods, amphipods.”
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.”
