Furan 2 and zoas (help)

[RJ F.]

Hey all. My furan 2 from api came in. I was wondering how exactly to do the dip. I'm dipping the whole zoa garden on a rock. I just did a coralrx dip and a gallon of water in a bucket was perfect. How much furan 2 is needed to treat a gallon?

As always thanks in advance

Thank you!

Does anyone know if you can reuse dip?

Does anyone know if you can reuse dip?

It's my understanding you should use a new batch of "dip" each time. I know the one time I treated my zoas using F2, I used a new batch each day. I'm not saying reusing it wouldn't be okay, just sharing my experience.

I have enough to make 2 batches for a gallon mix. I think I will reuse the first batch for the second day and then mix new for the third.

Thanks. I really appreciate your input

I reused my batches about 3 times. It takes a lot of Furan 2 to make a gallon and I was cheap and didn't want to spend $ on more.

Did anyone else zoas look like they were shedding when you dipped them? Mine looked like they were shedding and puking

So my zoas started turning black after 2nd furan 2 dip. Any ideas. Also should I attempt the 3rd round or let them be?

1 packet of furan per cup of water is what I do. 20-30 min
