How do you know it's ZP? Do you have any pictures you can share and maybe we can help with a more definitive answer.

Ive heard of some people that with time and constant water changes it just went away. Don't know the extent of water changes done or how much but I've heard of that before.

delso650 hits it on the head. I have done the same but it is hit and miss. I haven't had it for a long time now, but if I get it again, I'll hit it with Furan on the very first day.

Good luck

I believe furan is really effective on the first few days or so that the pox is identified and the zoa is still in good condition to go through the furan treatment. but if caught late and the zoa is going down hill. Most of those guys will just melt.

I have used iodine and water, dip for every other day for 1 week. Notice that the spots some what dim out and the polyps open after a few dips. Repeated this step until the spots worked themselves out.

Good luck.
