Getting corals ready for DT...
I am going to be ordering some frags and corals and would like advice as to how to properly acclimate them to my tank. My main question is how to I make sure that I transfer any bad critters (mainly ich) into my tank with them. I have heard ich can come in on rock and will definitely have a few pieces coming on rock.
I have a product called Coral Revive that I will use. Should I also give them a freshwater dip or something? Unfortunately my QT tank does not have what is necessary to provide corals with a good home. Any tips or advice? Thanks |

Float in tank to temp acclimate, then a dip in something like Coral Rx. This will get rid of flatworms, montispiders etc. Personally I would worry about transferring ich on corals.
What coral are you buying? acro's? zoas? monti's? |

I am getting some Favia, zoas and a hammer coral. Also considering some blue star polyps. Mind you they look more like blue cloves to me.
