A dipping tank includes a pump, a container, a fitting, and a plate which is used to place objects, such as corals, to be dipped. The pump draws fluid from inside the container and discharges it into the container through the fitting. The fitting includes two flexible hoses, one with a propulsive nozzle and the other with one or more dipping nozzles. The propulsive nozzle produces a jet which impinges upon the blades protruding from the bottom side of the plate causing the plate to rotate. The dipping nozzles eject jets which are used to spray and thereby dip the objects. Flexible hoses are configured so as to provide movements in 6 degrees of freedom for the nozzles. Flexible hoses may also further comprise valves to control fluid flow through said hoses.

The tank of claim 1, wherein the one or more objects is a coral. 9. The tank of claim 1, wherein the first flexible outlet hose and the second flexible outlet hose further comprise a plurality of joints configured to provide movements in 6 degrees of freedom for the propulsive nozzle and the one or more dipping nozzles. 10. The tank of claim 1, wherein the first flexible outlet hose further comprises a valve operative to control both fluid flow through the first flexible outlet hose and rotational speed of the plate. 11. The tank of claim 1, wherein the second flexible outlet hose further comprises a valve operative to control fluid flow through the second flexible outlet hose. 12. The tank of claim 1, wherein the input pipe second end further comprises a filter. 13. The tank of claim 1, wherein the container further comprises a drainage faucet. 14. A method of dipping one or more objects in a tank, comprising: providing a pump, coupled to an input pipe and an output pipe, that receives fluid from an input pipe first end and discharges the fluid into an output pipe first end;providing a container that receives the fluid from an output pipe second end and discharges the fluid into an input pipe second end, said container having a central shaft;providing a fitting having an inlet and a first flexible outlet hose and a second flexible outlet hose, wherein the inlet is coupled to the output pipe second end, wherein the first flexible outlet hose comprises a propulsive nozzle that ejects a propulsive jet, wherein the second flexible outlet hose comprises one or more dipping nozzles that eject one or more dipping jets; andproviding a plate having a central hole, one or more radial holes, and one or more blades protruding from a bottom side of the plate; wherein the central hole receives the central shaft, and the one or more radial holes receive the one or more objects;wherein the propulsive jet impinges on the one or more blades thereby causing the plate to rotate around the central shaft and wherein the one or more dipping jets spray the one or more objects thereby dipping said one or more objects; and the one or more blades' orientation and position is permanently fixed relative to the plate. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the first flexible outlet hose further comprises a valve that controls fluid flow through the first flexible outlet hose and rotational speed of the plate. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the second flexible outlet hose further comprises a valve that controls fluid flow through the second flexible outlet hose. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the first flexible outlet hose and the second flexible outlet hose further comprises a plurality of joints that can move in 6 degrees of freedom for the propulsive nozzle and the one or more dipping nozzles. 18. The method of claim 14, wherein the input pipe second end further comprises a filter.
