Hello all!
I wanted to make a post about how I beat zoa pox with no chemical dips.

I had:
10 head rastas (2 frags)
5 head fruit loops (1 frag)
4 head kedd reds (1 frag)

All were experiencing some degree of pox on them as of 7/1/16

1) I pulled each out of the tank 1x per week and scraped off the pus/pox sacks with a surgical knife, sometimes slicing a little bit of the polyp and squeezing the gunk out.
2) I took water from the tank and rinsed each frag thoroughly after scraping (over the sink to dispose of any contaminated water.)
3) repeat every week. (or whenever you see a pox pocket forming)

As of last night-I have been pox free for 3 weeks :)

I lost half the rastas, half the fruit loops, and none of the kedd reds BUT what are left are beautiful :)

This probably wont work for everyone, Im only describing what worked for me.
