Coral Rx is formulated to promote healthy
corals
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.
Coral Rx can be purchased in three different
concentration levels: Coral Rx, Coral Rx
Pro and Coral Rx Industrial. Coral Rx
(8oz) is ideal for retail store sales, and produces approximately 12 gallons of
coral dip. Coral Rx Pro (1oz & 4oz)
is ideal for online orders to reduce shipping cost, and produces approximately
17 gallons and 66 gallons respectively.
Coral Rx Industrial (8oz & 16 oz) is ideal for organizations caring
for a large quantity of corals, and produces approximately 295 gallons and 590
gallons respectively.
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.
Coral Rx removes many of the hard to deal with coral pests
like Acropora-Eating
Flatworms, Montipora-Eating
Nudibranchs and
Zoanthid-Eating Nudibranchs.
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.

corals; soft, LPS and SPS. Coral Rx
should be used in treating corals that have parasites or other bacterial

used as a prophylactic treatment before bringing live coral into your
aquarium.
Coral Rx is effective in removing the following
parasites:
-
Acropora Eating Flatworms
(AEFW)

Montipora Eating
Nudibranchs
-
Bristleworms
-
Zoanthid Eating
Spiders
-
Red
Flatworms
Also aids in the treatment of:
-
Filamentous Hair
Algae
-
Rapid Tissue Necrosis
(RTN)
-
Slow Tissue Necrosis
(STN)
-
Bacterial Infections &
More
Coral Rx should not be used on fish, shrimp, crabs,
snails, clams or other invertebrates. We
have not tested CoralRx's effectiveness on Acropora Red
Bugs.
Directions

Coral Rx: 20ml or 4 capfuls
-
Coral Rx Pro: 30 drops
-
Coral Rx Industrial: 10 drops
- Shake bottle of Coral Rx.
Add dosage as stated above based on product purchased to 1 gallon (3.8

If you do not have a power head, gently shake coral in the coral
dip. Keep coral in the coral dip for 5 - 10 minutes. After 5 - 10 minutes, remove
coral and discard the coral dip. Do not
