DipX is a highly effective dip for safely introducing new corals and live rocks to your aquarium.
A simple 15-minute bath in DipX before placing a new coral
in the aquarium will drive away unwanted “hitchhikers”, thereby
maintaining the safety of your reef.
New corals often come with unwanted “hitchhikers” hidden deep inside the corals’ crevices. These various tiny creatures
are usually invisible to the naked eye, and once in the aquarium, they
can migrate to other corals and damage your delicate reef eco-system.
Over the years, reef hobbyists have used generic baths
solutions such as fresh water, Iodine, and even household disinfectants,
all of which repel some of the hitchhikers, but not all of them.
For the past few years, we have been cultivating tanks
with infested corals and comparing a wide range of commercially
available dips and other repelling ingredients, examining both their effectiveness and their overall safety for the corals.
The result is DipX – a unique blend of essential oils, without inorganic disinfectants. Our tests have shown that DipX is completely safe for all kinds of corals and more effective than any other solution we tested.
Corals that were bathed in DipX still repelled unwanted
“hitchhikers”, even though they were previously dipped in other
solutions On the other hand, corals that were dipped in other solutions after they were bathed in DipX did not repel anything.
