Coral dipping in a few simple steps:
- Turn off the ATO and dispense the correct amount of water into two containers. One container will be used for dipping, and the other for rinsing the coral after dipping.
- Add the appropriate amount of the preparation to the container with water for dipping and mix.
- Place the coral in the dipping container.
- Place a small return pump or a wavemaker in the dipping container.
- Leave the coral in the prepared solution for 5-10 minutes (according to the instructions on the packaging).
- Remove the coral from the dip container and rinse it in a second container with water prepared for this purpose.
- Place the coral back into the display tank.
- Get rid of the used water safely.
- Re-do the coral dipping as needed.

Marek Protasewicz
Reefkeeping has been my passion for over 10 years now. I love learning. The hobby has taught me many valuable lessons, patience being the best example.
Combining work and passion is my path. I run Crazy Coral, a marine aquarium shop, for a number of years. Building this business from the scratch I learnt from my own mistakes at a heavy cost.
Later I managed a project aimed at development of methods for quick growth of Corals in non-natural conditions. The project was carried out by Get Sales, Poland.
Presently, I am responsible for distribution strategy at Reef Factory, of which I am a
co-founder. The company produces smart devices for marine aquaristics.
The last projects I have been involved in are Social Reef and ReefPedia.
