May 24, 2010 #5 PRC Stop Quoting Me! +1 Reeffreak....10 minutes seems like a helluva long time to dip...but I've never done a FW dip.
May 24, 2010 #7 reeffreak Reef pro Some corals can handle a freshwater dip and some can't.I honestly don't believe those two things were doing any harm. What corals can handle a freshwater dip?All I know of for sure are palys,zoas and SPS corals.
