Reef Primer is gentle on corals: they actually expand in it. Unlike a lot of dips that stress corals — they come out all twisted, and if you leave them too long they'll just about die — in Reef Primer the coral truly expands, and it's absolutely lethal to most pests, unwanted invertebrates, that kind of thing. So Reef Primer, for me, is the best one, period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy from ReefSolution\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthorized Polyplab dealer in Canada — in-store pickup in Laval or shipping across Canada.
