Red Sea's a solid choice. Just make sure your QT params match your display to avoid shock when you transfer. What's your temp stability like? Fluctuations can mess with them more than you'd think.

Zoas are tough but yeah, dip 'em first. I use CoralRx, works like a charm. And yeah, match your temps. Nothing worse than a cold shock.

CoralRx is great. I also like Revive for a milder option. Either way, dipping's non-negotiable. How often are you planning to feed them in QT?

Dips are a must, no question. And yeah, match your display params as close as possible. Temp, salinity, alk, the works. QT's not the place to cut corners.
