Two Little Fishies ReVive Coral Cleaner is a surface cleaning formula for live soft, LPS and SPS corals.
When to use: Designed for all general purpose live coral cleansing, including the acclimation of live corals to aquariums, and rinsing newly fragmented corals.
ReVive may also be used to disinfect damaged or infected corals.
Why use: Few Fish stores and online vendors treat their new corals with any coral dip. Over time, their system becomes infected with parasites that travel from their system to your aquarium. Most hobbyists are infected, but few know it. Those who do know, have spent hours and hundreds of dollars to eliminate pests like Acropora Eating Flatworms, Little Red Bugs, Planaria Flatworms, Zoanthid and Montipora Eating Nudibranchs and Sundial Snails, when they could have treated their corals with ReVive. Think of ReVive as an insurance policy, you've already spent thousands of dollars on your saltwater aquarium, now keep it free of pests.
Post Acclimation & Newly Fragged Coral Directions: Mix 4 capfuls (40ml) of ReVive per gallon (3.8 L) of clean saltwater in a bucket or other container suitable for bathing coral. Do not overdose! Wash coral in this mixture for 2-3 minutes and then rinse in fresh saltwater to remove any residue. Place newly dipped coral into aquarium or quarantine tank.
The ReVive/saltwater mixture may be used again for cleaning several corals, but it should be discarded after 1 hour of use. Never add ReVive directly into your aquarium!
Damaged Coral Instructions: Mix 4 capfuls (40ml) of ReVive per gallon (3.8 L) of clean saltwater in a bucket or other container suitable for bathing coral. Do not overdose! Remove any deteriorating flesh from the coral with a soft brush. Wash coral in this mixture for 2-3 minutes and then rinse in fresh saltwater to remove any residue. Place newly dipped coral into aquarium or quarantine tank.
Infected Coral Instructions: Mix 4 capfuls (40ml) of ReVive per gallon (3.8 L) of clean saltwater in a bucket or other container suitable for bathing coral. Do not overdose! Wash coral in this mixture for 2-3 minutes and then rinse in fresh saltwater to remove any residue. Place newly dipped coral into aquarium or quarantine tank.
ReVive can be used to treat Acropora Eating Flatworms, Little Red Bugs, Montipora and Zoanthid Eating Nudibranchs, Planaria Flatworms, Sundial Snails and many other parasitic pests. Please note that ReVive will not kill the eggs of many of these species and multiple treatments may be required. For best use, quarantined your corals and examine them daily for signs of infestation. Repeat treatment as necessary. |
