With a precise dosing of 8 capsules per gallon and a gentle 5-minute dip, it prevents stress responses while ensuring your corals enter your tank clean and healthy. Ideal for professional reef keepers seeking reliable, fast-acting coral protection. ## Description Reef primer will clean away: Zoanthid Eating Nudibranchs, Montipora Eating Nudibranchs, Acropora Eating Flatworms, Brstlworms, Zoanthid Eating Spiders, Red Flatworms, Filamentous Hair Algae, Rapid Tissue Necrosis, Slow Tissue Necrosis, Bacterial Infections, and More. Reef Primer is gentle on your coral and won't trigger a stress response due to the dipping process. For complete protection, simply dip your corals or frags in the Reef Primer solution for 5 minutes. Ingredients: Potassium Salts Review: Potassium Salt Treatment - Best coral dip I’ve ever used. Minimal coral irritation, treats flatworms, unwanted hitchhikers and bacterial infection like brown jelly as claimed by manufacturer. Great for treating newly purchased corals, very effective with torches, zoanthids, SPS. Never treat when inverts, fishes and snails are present. Use separately with a separate container then rinse coral prior to introduction. Review: Seems to work, but is can be more harsh than advertised - Read the entire review - this stuff works, but you have to be careful I would recommend using this at half strength and only dipping for about 45 seconds. Using this at half strength for their recommended 5 minutes resulted in a pretty major stress response in some montipora digitata I tried it with. It was ONLY dipped in this and I lost about half of the polyps to bailout. It was able to remove what I assume was green hair algae after that dip that hasn't come back after. The instructions recommend putting corals directly from the dip into the tank....definitely rinse anyways. Dropping the frag directly in the tank caused most of my other SPS to retract and took a few days to come back out. Could be coral warfare, but it may have been the dip....I don't see a reason not to dip, so yup...I'll be rinsing again anyways. I've since used it on other corals, also at half strength, and they are still going and didn't have the adverse reaction like the montipora digitata had. This is the last dip I do in a series of four dips (CoralRx, Flatworm Exit, Iodine, and last this) and the other corals I've dipped have faired well. As it is the last in my series of dips, I don't tend to see anything nasty coming out of corals like I do in early stages as most of it should be gone. I did find a couple vermetid snails that made it past the dip, but I don't really expect them to be taken out by anything so meh. At least for the 15 or so frags that have gone through this including other monti's, zoanthids, smooth skin acros, leptos, and candy canes, I've had decent results with a short dip followed by a rinse in clean saltwater. The dip comes as a dry salt that gets mixed with tank water. I would recommend getting a magnetic stirrer if you plan on using this often as even the relatively small amount takes a good five minutes or so to dissolve. As this stuff is so expensive, I would also recommend doing your dips in half quart or smaller water volumes to stretch it out. At "8 caps per gallon" dosage listed on the bottle, that is 1 cap per half quart (or 1/2 cap if you decide to go half). A quick disclaimer - with this being a relatively new product at the time of this review, I chose to use half strength to be "safe". It could very well be that this stuff doesn't work unless it's at the recommended concentration, so ignore the instructions at your own risk. As more folks use this and more guidance and anecdotes find their way online, I may up the dose later. The next time I get a pest or algae explosion, I'll run a couple frags through just this to see what comes out and update my review if I can remember. ## Features - Keeps corals clean before adding them to your tank - Gentle on your coral and won't trigger a stress response due to the dipping - 45g or 8 caps full of Reef Primer into 1 gallon ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01992WCYQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #101,376 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #937 in Aquarium Water Treatments | | Brand | Polyp Lab | | Brand Name | Polyp Lab | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 42 Reviews | | Item Form | Capsules | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Liquid Volume | 1 Gallons | | Manufacturer | Polyp Lab | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1 | | Model Number | 1 | | Target Species | Coral | | UPC | 696859301872 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Polyp Lab - **Liquid Volume:** 1 Gallons - **Item Weight:** 7.2 ounces - **Item Form:** Capsules - **Target Species:** Coral ## Images ![Reef Primer Coral Conditioner 180 gm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21ZKF7zb-pL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Potassium Salt Treatment *by R***9 on January 19, 2025* Best coral dip I’ve ever used.

I tested on a few frag plugs I got in with alge on them. Critters fell of and the amge was gone in less than a week. ## Frequently Bought Together - Polyp Lab Reef Primer Coral Conditioner 180 gm - Blue Ocean Corals Coral Rx Dip Aquarium Treatment, 8-Ounce - Polyp Lab Reef Primer Shot Coral Dip 45g --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/22096388-reef-primer-coral-conditioner-180-gm](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/22096388-reef-primer-coral-conditioner-180-gm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
