Coral RX Regular Coral Dip 8 oz
treats corals with parasites and is a prophylactic measure to promote
healthy corals before parasites or bacterial infections become harmful.
Coral RX is tough on parasites, yet gentle on your corals (contains no
iodine or oxidizers) allowing you to be proactive in protecting your
investment. Coral RX removes many of the “hard to deal with” coral pests
like Acropora-Eating Flatworms, Montipora-Eating Nudibranchs,
Bristleworms, Red Flatworms and Zoanthid-Eating Nudibranchs. Coral RX
should NOT be used on fish, shrimp, crabs, snails, clams or other
invertebrates.
Corals are dipped into a mixture of Coral RX Coral Dip and saltwater
from your aquarium (well mixed). Use 20 ml of Coral RX for each gallon
of saltwater from the aquarium.
Coral
Rx was developed in 2006 for two purposes: to treat corals suffering
with parasites, and as a prophylactic measure to promote healthy corals
before parasites or bacterial infections become harmful.Coral Rx is tough on parasites, yet gentle on your coral (contains no iodine or oxidizers) allowing you to be proactive in protecting your investment.
Independently Tested
Coral Rx was independently tested by Andrew Lynford, M.S. in Biology from Hofstra University.This
investigation attempted to quantify the efficacy of three chemical
flatworm controls: Flatworm Exit, Coral Rx, and Povidone.His research is available in a featured article published in Advanced Aquarist, April 2009.Below are excerpts of his findings:.
Coral Rx was the most effective treatment…
Coral Rx performed well as a coral dip,
and it would be advantageous for coral aquaculturists, wholesalers,
retailers, aquariums, and hobbyists to use this product when
quarantining newly purchased corals.
Chemical treatments are utilized as a
preventative protocol used to eradicate flatworms before they are
introduced into an aquarium. These chemical treatments are referred to
as a coral dips.
Quarantining corals and live rock with
coral dips is the best way to deal with marine flatworms because it
prevents their introduction, and circumvents the problems associated
with convolutrilobid toxin release.
Harvesting coral reef taxa (species) to replace livestock lost through convolutriloba toxin release is environmentally costly, and should be prevented by using coral dips.
Coral Rx – a different type of coral dip
Coral Rx was designed by keeping the health of your coral in
mind. Our proprietary blend of natural ingredients contains no iodine,
which is known to stain corals, nor does Coral Rx contain oxidizers
whose by-products are often toxic and continue to react with surrounding
tissue. Independent research also questions the effectiveness of iodine
treatments. Please take a look at this feature article in Advanced Aquarist, April 2009.
Promotes Coral Health – Coral Rx is hard on
parasites yet easy on corals making it a perfect prophylactic treatment
protecting your coral investment. Whether or not you quarantine your
corals before putting them in your aquarium, a dip in Coral Rx decreases
the probability of adding a parasite into your aquarium eco-system.
