SRC Member raydiative Posted February 17, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted February 17, 2009 those are zoa pox if i am not wrong.. better seperate it from the rest of your zoas if not all may kana... you can read more about it from here: http://www.zoaid.com/articles004.php Quote A man with a reef tank is a man with an empty wallet...

SRC Member LoReNsIa Posted February 17, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted February 17, 2009 Try fresh water dip it. And using a old tooth brush to brush off the pods. I always recommend reefer to keep a hardworking wrasse like yellow, green or six line wrasse when keeping zoas. So they can help to keep clear of all this unwanted pest. HTH, Lorenzo.

SRC Member Creetin Posted February 17, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted February 17, 2009 zoapox... most jialat thing to happen...no one knows why or how... so lets not be mistaken that zoas are easy to keep! btw Pauline i have some furan 3 if u want to try u can have it foc. however my previous results were not encouraging... furan 2 is hard to get, if c328 has, then is good for you alternatively i suggest to just throw it away? cos its too time consuming and u risk spreading the pox to other zoas without a quarantine tank...

SRC Member kimwailee Posted February 17, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted February 17, 2009 thank bro lee, anyway my other zoo also kana the zoopox liao... haiz, so sad ....some of them r my fav!! will take out all the zoo n try with the furan 2...hopefully it will fully recover.... but anyway thank with all the advice... sad day Seem like you have a serious problem here....If I were you,, I will do this way. 1. Take out all affected zoas, left those not affected one in your main tank 2. Change 20 to 30% of water 3. Hard work : Frag those not affected zoas and put back to main tank 4. try out the Furan2 and best is not return straight away after treatment... 5. Your spare tank will be usefull to quarantine.. if you need tank, PM me. Thats all I can advice and good luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter ReDDeviLs Posted February 17, 2009 SRC Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2009 oh sis,btw after u soak them in furan 2.. rem to wash them with ur tank water first! b4 putting back in the tank if u wan to. and also, dosing vitamin C will help. however, be prepared to battle with algaes!

SRC Member LoReNsIa Posted February 18, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted February 18, 2009 Sorry to disturb. I just check with terry this morning about furan2. And he mention that if your fishes got white spot, it help too. And so it's ok to add in to your main tank. Since it's going to kill all the good and bad bacteria in your tank. But u got to prepare to change your water every two to three days. Anw, do share with us the result pauline. cheers and good luck to your zoas.

SRC Member kimwailee Posted February 18, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted February 18, 2009 I remember Furan 2 contain chemical known to cause cancer.... thus, becareful when you handle this solution... make sure you ware glove and wash with Distilled water before return them to main tanks.... Not worth the risk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
