For the past year, I’ve been using coral dips that smells like pine cleanser. Some work great. Some are known to be more diluted & work so-so (i.e. does not remove all pests effectively). Many are not effective against flatworms. A senior reefer recommended potassium based cleaners. I tried to DIY some with potassium chloride powder but wasn't exactly sure of the dosage. Just sharing something I tried recently & was pretty impressed with it. This product is supposed be formulated of Potassium + other salts. Potassium based cleaners work great Very effective against worms, crabs, brittlestarfish or the dreaded zoa eating nudibranch and Acro Eating FlatWorm. One nice thing with potassium based dips - there is no need to rinse after dipping. Just place the coral straight into the display tank (free dosing of much needed potassium). Potassium dips are supposed to be less harsh on corals compared to insecticides but yet effective against pests. With cleaner or insecticide based coral dips, one normally need to use 1 – 2 additional containers of tank water to ensure the dip is washed. We don’t want any of cleaning chemical/insecticide in the display tank. Used it on a couple of SPS colonies & LPS so far. Corals opened up again after a few hours. Very potent compared to what I've used before. Its not cheap but figured a bottle should last a long time. After 3 minutes. Flatworm? Instructions call for 45g (8 caps) per 4 litres of water. Graphically, it says: - - Take 4L of tank water. Place into a 5L container - - Add 45g of Reef Primter intl the 5L container. Dissolve powder - - Dip your corals for max of 5 minutes. Agitate the water. (I use a pipette or turkey baster) - - Put the coral directly into the tank. No need to rinse
