TLF Coral Revive

[flyguy7150]

Is this good stuff, ordering from Dr. F&S, wondering if i should add it??? Its 8 dollars. Wondering if this and iodine dips will be good for acros and such till i can get my hands on some interceptor???

[flyguy7150]

guess ill just throw it in there, some1 says it works great against aefw

[znut Reefer]

I've never used it, but heard it was good. I would add it.

[flyguy7150]

went ahead and put it in

[gasman059]

just another tool
I do some 3 hrs interceptor with fluke tabs- then use revive for 15 mins.

[Serioussnaps]

What are the ingredients?

[flyguy7150]

Oleum abietis 0.5%
Citrus limon 0.5%

I use it as well on my SPS and LPS. Any bugs bugs that are on a coral make a mad dash off of it when dipped!

sweet, sounds like a good buy then

[racermike27]

Excellent product. I use this to dip all of my incoming corals along with interceptor and fluke tabs.

It makes everything smell so clean!!!

anyone used this after using TMProCC for a comparison?

the TMProCC works well at getting aefw's off of new frags, but it is really harsh on the coral

[jay24k]

From what I've seen and heard locally, this stuff works very well and is not harsh on the coral. I'd give it a try Kip. Btw, has the tank calmed down any?

[sugartooth]

I use it and like it too. Flatworms just start peeling off after a minute or so.

kip I stopped TMPCC and replaced it with revive. About five mins worth.

It seems to work very well and as u stated much less harsh. Although that lysol smell-lol.

new to it only a few months.

[A.T.T.R]

it smells like pinesol and has very similar ingrediants if i remember correctly

yeah... the problem has stopped... basically it left me with two milles, a granulosa, a blue stag, and another acro.... i am resurrecting my frrag tank... its gonna be a slow rebuilding process

but it has been 2 months since i've seen the "disease" that wiped out my tank. i think i am outta the woods.

The instruction on the bottle was not very clear. It said dip for several mins. Well, two weeks ago, I pick up a good size marine-cultur arco. plana from a LFS. I dip it for 10 min, the whole thing bleech. It had nice poly extension while in the interceptor tank for 3 hr. But after that 10 min dip, I killed the whole colony. . I guess I lean my $65 lesson. This past weekend, I pick up another arco. plana, after 3 hr interceptor, 10 min. TMPCC and only 2 min. on Revive. Expect it got brown out from TMPCC, but the whole colony is happy extend poly in my main tank. I know it would color back in few week which is not aproblem. The wierd thing is the first one that I killed, I did not dip in TMPCC, it go straight into Coral Revie. Still can't figure out...But I'll be really carefull with all new product.
Just to share my experience. Hope it doesn't happen to you.

I would really like to know all your dip time, cause I really don't want to use TMPCC. It turns everything brown.

[Sara B]

I dip my SPS and LPS for 5 minutes max in the coral revive product.

[Kip]

rekk... i have found 2 mins isnt necessarily enough w/ TMProCC. i've seen aefw's take a good 5-10mins to release. at the same time, i've had many frags die after a TMProCC bath. Cool thing... corals that do survive this bathing process turn out to be pretty darn hardy, if there is a silver lining to it all.
