Rememberme Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Does coral rx work if the expiry date has passed? Link to comment
joy13 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 If it was far out of date I wouldn't think so but a couple of weeks it should be ok. I don't want any pests in my tank if I can help it. What type of corals are you dipping? Link to comment

joy13 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Usually fresh water dips are fine for zoas will pretty much kill any pest on them. Link to comment

BulkRate Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Not zoas. Once closed up they can take being left in open air or straight up hydrogen peroxide for 1-2 hours, and longer with possibly some polyp losses. Link to comment
joy13 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 If you research you will find a lot of people will dip zoas in fresh water to kill things like nudibranch as long as your do it properly it won't hurt your zoas. Link to comment
IThas2Bme Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The Coral RX main ingredient is Tea Tree Oil. It's likely to become less potent if it goes well over the expiration date but still useful if its a few months or weeks. +1 on freshwater dips as well. Link to comment
