C-Dip Two-Stage Coral Immersion Bath System

C-Dip is a two-stage coral immersion bath system designed for use during coral acclimation, inspection, and handling before placement into a reef or quarantine aquarium.

C-Dip 1 and C-Dip 2 are both formulated without iodine or oxidizing agents. Both products are intended only for use as external immersion baths prepared with aquarium water.

C-Dip 1 — Step 1

C-Dip 1 is the first step in the C-Dip system. It is intended for use as part of a coral acclimation, inspection, and handling routine before placement into a reef or quarantine aquarium.

Prepare C-Dip 2 before starting with C-Dip 1.

Prepare a clean container with aquarium water and add 12 drops of C-Dip 1 per 1 liter of aquarium water. Mix thoroughly. Place the coral into the prepared bath for 5 minutes with gentle water movement. A small powerhead may be used to maintain gentle flow.

After 5 minutes, remove the coral and transfer it immediately to a separately prepared C-Dip 2 bath. Discard the used C-Dip 1 bath solution after use.

C-Dip 2 — Step 2

C-Dip 2 is the second step in the C-Dip system. It is intended for use after C-Dip 1 as part of a coral acclimation, inspection, and handling routine before placement into a reef or quarantine aquarium.

C-Dip 2 may also be used as part of a post-shipping, post-transport, or post-fragging coral handling routine.

Shake vigorously before use.

Prepare a clean container with aquarium water and add 12 drops of C-Dip 2 per 1 liter of aquarium water. Mix thoroughly. Place the coral into the prepared bath for 45 minutes with gentle water movement. A small powerhead may be used to maintain gentle flow.

After 45 minutes, remove the coral and transfer it to your reef or quarantine aquarium. Discard the used C-Dip 2 bath solution after use.

The full C-Dip 1 and C-Dip 2 process may be repeated every 5 days, up to 4 total cycles, if appropriate for the coral and aquarium husbandry routine.
