are your corals loosing tissue ? or just look lighter ?
corals loose their zoox, their sunglasses, so lower lighting or lift it a bit if you feel like they are suffering...
if they were healthy, it shouldnt cause any big Issues though.
tonight your corals should look even lighter, and start getting their zoox back in 3-4 days usually.
next time might want to try B-balance, its less potent.
GAC and skimmer will remove the extra heavy metals.

Thank you for the reply.They were very healthy before, and yes they are just looking lighter, my green slimer to be exact, and a few other acropora, along with all of my Montipora caps, they turned straight neon.All corals still have great polyp extension, maybe even better than before.I fed them this morning with some fauna Marin and some oyster feast just for kicks.I guessed that maybe the food would help the lack of zooxanthellae.
I will raise my lights as well.
Thanks again.

oh okay you are fine. probably dont even need to raise lights ...
regarding using it for brown corals .. it does work, but to a limit, at some point the coral gets too weak and wont be able to make it back, so those using it to lighten brown corals, be careful. As a side note, the more you dose it, the less corals slime...
I dose it when I have ppl coming over

Mostly my Montipora's have changed, my dark orange Monti turned light pink and it looks pretty sweet, I was just wondering if I should worry was all.
My green Monti cap turned a light green and the purple rim turned a silver/blue color.I know it will not stay but it looks pretty neat.

Tissue is getting thin, watch for necrosis.

A one off full dosage is pretty strong, but wont kill healthy corals. I've used it in the past...still have a full bottle sitting in cupboard...
It does "thin" the tissue and something you really need to watch carefully. Thin tissue + any other issue will mean the coral easily swings over to the death side.
Also look out for "dry" looking tissue.
"Dry" and "thin" tissue may sound weird to anyone who hasnt tried Zeovit before, but I can assure you these are very real effects when dealing with certain Zeovit products.
I wouldnt dose any Zeospur2 for another 4 weeks minimum in order to allow the corals to recover.
This is IMO one of the most potent potions in the Zeovit range. Works exactly as claimed.

Just sharing my experience...
Most Spur2 users I heard in Taiwan (and include myself) start from dosing half of recommendation volume and then gradually increase 10% next 10th day till reach best result. Once know your best volume of Spur2, then dose Spur2 in day one, and use B-B daily to keep the color, till next 10 day cycle start. I use above process for a while, but then lost interest of that kind of coloration, and stop dose Spur2 anymore. I still use B-B, however.

Did a full dose a few months when I launched my new aquarium and it claimed a bunch of frags, Large Stag and couple nice chalices. The colors looked great in the surviving corals but my recommendation is not to use it unless you are using a full zeo system. In my case my nutrients were too lean to use heavy metals in the system.
Personally I have evolved to like the deep rich colored "natural" look of corals.

Same here. Years ago I used to love the pastel (zeovit) look. Now its not my thing and prefer the stronger/rich/deep colour.

Ditto, I just see an unhealthy tank with unhealthy corals when I see a lot of these tanks. It's crazy to me that people are messing with a product that's basically poisoning their corals to make them change color.
