Zoas are not happy

[BluTang85]

hey guys, quick run down. I recently bought a copperband and had to put him in my display due to qt not running correctly and it brought flukes. So I dosed Prazi pro at 2.5 mg which is recommended with first dose, my system total water volume is roughly 165 g. You could tell some of the coral got upset but bounced back, so I let this dos run 7 days did a 30 gal water change and dosed 2.5 mg again. This dose seemed to make zoas shrivel up there not fully closed but there just showing there mouth. I ran the treatment for 6 days and did a 30 g water change and hooked up carbon. I’m curious if anyone else ran into this with Prazi pro, I lost 2 acans aswell, there were fluffy and happy and in one day in a cloud of slime but that’s all I lost.

Current parameters
Alk 9.2
Cal 450
Mag 1320
No3 0——I’m dosing kno3 to raise the level but this is where level was and zoas we’re happy
Po4 .07

I just hooked up the carbon yesterday so hopefully this clears the water and I dipped most of the zoas in coral Rx.

Do you have any Lugol's ? sometimes it works better than Coral RX to help corals bounce back.

I don’t have Lugols on hand, I have seachem iodine. What’s the difference between them?

Sorry, I don't know about Seachem. I use Kent's. Might be basically the same.

Seachem reef dip should help. It’s basically just iodine but with a gel additive. It sticks better to polyps imo.

Thanks ya I’m gonna take all the zoas a dip them tomorrow in iodine. Apparently prazi isn’t as reef safe as stated

All meds are like that. Your mileage can vary depending on the individual fish, coral or invert.
