I recently found out the little spots I noticed a while back on my Fire and Ice zoa frag I bought online are zoa pox and they seem to be spreading some in the colony. It's taken 1.5 mths to move to a couple other heads but Im quite sure their spreading. After doing some reading, I purchased some Furan 2 and started the dip process (no room for a coral QT tank). I did my first dip today and popped the spots.
Im looking for anyone who has had a good experience with this and if there are any major pitfalls? If this doesn't work, what's the next step?
I also had 2 other zoa colonies and 1 paly on the same rock. I removed the affected colony and placed it on my frag rack in another place in the tank to separate it and allow for the daily dips. The unaffected ones are new colonies and currently do not show any signs of the pox. The affected one was a good 3-4 inches away from the next closest. My tanks parm's stay pretty steady with the exception of pH which moves between 8.1-8.3 with 2 part dosing, Co2 media exhaustion, and at night. Nitrates 1, Phos 0, Ca ~400, Mg 1300, Salinity 34, temp 78 +/- 0.5 degree. I'm trying to increase the phos/nitrates some by backing off my GFO, etc. I've run it relatively low since the tank started and everything is tolerating it well and thriving including the affected zoa colony.
