SRC Member Mr Kingfisher Posted November 28, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hate to break your bubble, and I think the due diligence is on our part to dip the purchased corals whether any lfs does it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted December 8, 2020 SRC Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2020 imagine having hundreds of corals during shipment day, and there is limited of manpower.. So best is still do our own due diligence and conduct our own coral dip and check to be 100% sure. 1 Quote 1000 Gallon Tank in the Hole http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/120957-1000-gallon-3d-hole-in-the-wall/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Evolutionz Posted December 9, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted December 9, 2020 Dipping does nothing if the corals does not get inspected for eggs. and i do not expect any LFS to throughly inspect every single coral for eggs after dipping. 1 Quote EvolutionZ's Floating Reef: (Decommed) EvolutionZ's 4ft shallow Mixed Reef Build : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
