kjamaya May 1, 2014 Share May 1, 2014 Has anyone ever used chemiclean to treat zoas that are dying from bacteria and fungal infections? They say with 1 or 2 spoons mixed with quarter of tank water, left for 15 min, and turkey basted till fungal/bacteria (brown) comes off is all you need. You can also Treat your tank as if you have cyano and your zoas will open day after last day of treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind May 1, 2014 Share May 1, 2014 I've used it for red slime but never targeted just for zoas. I wonder if it would work on external fish infections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incredible Corals May 2, 2014 Share May 2, 2014 Furan 2 is normally what is recommended. From my experience though once they start melting that is the point if no return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sen5241b May 2, 2014 Share May 2, 2014 My Furan dip of zoas did nothing to help them. I think mine died becuase I put them under too much light too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origami May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 Looks good. Great tip. A few years ago, there were threads talking about using Vitamin C to help zoas that we're closed up like that, too. Sent from my LG G-Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treesprite May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 How do you make a dip of ChemiClean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjamaya May 7, 2014 Author Share May 7, 2014 I used 1 quart of tank water and 2 spoons of chemiclean using the little spoon they provide. Mix it up and place the infected zoa into the dip. Let it sit for 20 minutes then blast the zoa with a turkey baster. Continue blasting it till you start seeing the brown algae, fungus, or that skin that sometimes covers the zoa fall off. Swish the dipped zoa in a separate container with clean saltwater and place back in tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
