Used furon-2 in a dose of 1 capsule per 3 cups of water. Put rock in a bag to increase dosage and decrease amount of water needed to submerge the whole rock. Dosed for about 20 minutes per dip.

Great pics of the treatment.....Thank god for Furan2 now that is one problem we can call solved....

got zoanthids?
 
Nice job! How long in between the treatments were you giving the colony?

Thanks, Bryan

I did 4 consecutive days then left them alone for a week. Amazed that even the feather dusters survived the treatment.

I Paid way to much for it but my LFS is a rip off. Azurel said at Pet supplies plus they got it for like $4.00. I think it would be a really good idea for anyone with a decent collection to keep some around as a precaution.
 
Yea if you have a Pet Supplies Plus around your area they have it for like $4.65 for a 8 pack of tablets......I used half of them the first time I dipped the frags I had and still have the other half of them for the next time it shows its ugly head.....Hopefully it won't.....Again great pics of the time line....
 
GJ! :D

I'd love to add those pics, timeline, and your name for credit on the Zoapox article. Whatcha think? :D :D

I was asked the other day if there were any other photo'ed case studies proving it works. At the time I said, "not that I know of..." But here's one! :D

Use them all you want. I followed the directions you have posted except one capsule per 3 cups instead of 1 cup because of the size of the piece. Following the more concentrated method should only work better but can be rather expensive on larger pieces.
 
Thanks d.grcich!

I've updated the article to include your 'add-on' if you will! (The same way I've done for other article addendums.)

It's great! :D

Also - as suggested, I've labeled the 'Zoa Pox' gallery with a link to 'THE CURE!' :D

http://www.zoaid.com/index.php?module=Gallery2&g2_itemId=761

I also added some 'Zoapox' and 'Zoa Pox' variences so search engines should pick it up easier (hopefully).

Good idea! :D

I noticed that the 'one week' shot was taken yesterday. If you happen to take another one after the second week cured, I'd love to add it as well.

Thx,

Scott, your in VA, Where are you located? I got a bottle from BRK.
 
rocko, I live in Manassas. I was just at BRK today, sheesh. Oh well, I will have to make a trip again before the weekend is out, lol. I just sent you a PM when I saw you in a different thread.
 
Been looking for this and only finding an API product. Is that the same? Thanks for any help my Zoas appreciate it.
A couple other questions as well. The colony that has the outbreak is on a large rock with two other Zoas I think the other Zoas will be fine and I am able to remove the rock from the tank thank God. But will this kill a beneficial bacteria on or in this rock? Maybe start a minion cycle when the treatments are done?
