Aquaforest AF Protect Dip 50ml

Aquaforest AF Protect Dip 50ml is a coral dip solution designed for rinsing and cleansing corals before they are added to a marine aquarium. Used outside the main aquarium, it helps clean the surface of coral tissue and skeleton, supporting safer coral introduction, quarantine routines and general coral care.

Ideal for reef aquariums, coral quarantine systems, frag handling and new coral arrivals, AF Protect Dip helps reduce the risk of introducing unwanted parasites, infections and coral surface problems into the display tank. The 50ml bottle is a practical size for reef keepers who regularly add corals, maintain frag systems or want a reliable coral dip as part of their marine aquarium maintenance routine.

Key Features

  • Coral dip solution for marine aquariums
  • 50ml bottle size
  • Designed for use outside the main aquarium
  • Helps cleanse coral surfaces before introduction
  • Supports coral quarantine and inspection routines
  • Helps reduce the risk of unwanted coral pests and infections
  • Suitable for use with new coral purchases and coral frags
  • Useful for SPS, LPS and soft coral handling routines
  • Contains no iodine or oxidising compounds
  • Used dip solution must not be poured back into the aquarium

Product Overview

Aquaforest AF Protect Dip has been developed for reef keepers who want to clean and inspect corals before placing them into the display aquarium. New corals and frags can sometimes carry unwanted organisms, damaged tissue, irritants or surface contamination, so dipping is an important part of responsible reef aquarium husbandry.

AF Protect Dip is used as a short coral bath in water taken from the aquarium. During the dip, the coral surface can be gently rinsed or cleaned to help remove unwanted material before the coral is transferred into a separate rinse container and then returned to the aquarium.

Benefits for Reef Aquariums

Aquaforest AF Protect Dip helps reduce the risk of introducing coral pests and surface infections into a reef aquarium. By dipping new corals before adding them to the display tank, aquarists can inspect coral tissue, frag plugs and skeleton edges more carefully.

This helps support a cleaner, more controlled coral introduction process, especially in systems containing valuable SPS, LPS, soft corals or established reef colonies. A regular coral dipping routine can form part of a wider quarantine and pest prevention programme.

Suitable For

Aquaforest AF Protect Dip 50ml is suitable for:

  • Marine aquariums
  • Reef aquariums
  • Coral quarantine routines
  • New coral introductions
  • Coral frags
  • SPS corals
  • LPS corals
  • Soft corals
  • Frag systems
  • Coral inspection before placement
  • Reef keepers wanting a controlled coral dip routine

This product is for coral dipping outside the aquarium only and should not be dosed directly into the display tank.

How It Works

AF Protect Dip is mixed with aquarium water in a separate container to create a short-duration coral bath. The coral is then immersed in the prepared solution, allowing the surface to be cleaned and inspected before the coral is rinsed in clean aquarium water.

The dip helps cleanse the coral surface and can support prevention against common coral health issues and unwanted organisms. It is especially useful when introducing new corals from different systems or suppliers.

How to Use

Shake well before use.

Carry out the bath outside the aquarium.

Dissolve 2.5ml of Aquaforest AF Protect Dip in 5 litres of water taken directly from the aquarium.

Immerse the coral in the prepared solution and gently clean the coral surface by rinsing with the dip water or carefully using a soft toothbrush where appropriate.

The bath should take up to 5 minutes.

After dipping, transfer the coral into a separate container filled with a fresh portion of aquarium water to rinse.

Once rinsed, transfer the cleaned coral back into the aquarium or into quarantine.

Usage Advice

Always prepare the dip in a separate container and never dose AF Protect Dip directly into the aquarium.

Inspect the coral carefully before and after dipping. Check the underside of frag plugs, coral bases, damaged tissue areas and shaded crevices where pests or debris may be present.

Use gentle movement during the dip to help loosen unwanted material. Avoid aggressive brushing on delicate coral tissue. For sensitive or stressed corals, monitor closely and remove the coral from the dip earlier if it shows signs of severe stress.

When to Use

Aquaforest AF Protect Dip 50ml is useful when:

  • Introducing new corals to a reef aquarium
  • Dipping coral frags before placement
  • Inspecting corals before adding them to the display tank
  • Running a coral quarantine process
  • Cleaning coral surfaces before mounting
  • Reducing the risk of pest introduction
  • Handling SPS, LPS or soft corals from another system
  • Preparing newly purchased corals for acclimation
  • Supporting a preventative coral health routine

Coral Quarantine Advice

Coral dipping is an important first step, but it should not be treated as a complete replacement for quarantine. Some pests, eggs or hidden organisms may survive dipping or remain in areas that are difficult to inspect.

For best results, use AF Protect Dip alongside careful visual inspection, coral quarantine where possible, stable water conditions and ongoing observation after introduction.

Reef Safety Advice

AF Protect Dip must be used outside the aquarium only.

Do not pour used dip solution into the aquarium. Once the dip has been used, discard it safely and do not reuse it for additional corals. Always rinse corals in clean aquarium water before returning them to the tank.

Do not use the dip in the presence of fish, snails, clams, crabs, shrimp or other aquarium livestock.

Important Notes

AF Protect Dip is designed for coral bathing and surface cleansing. It is not a general aquarium medication and should not be used to treat the whole aquarium.

Always follow the recommended concentration and bath time. Do not extend dip times unnecessarily, especially with delicate, stressed or recently shipped corals.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach of children. This product is intended for aquarium use only and should not be consumed.
