Zoa Pox and Cephalexin

mitra49 · 04/16/2014, 10:17 AM

Hello, I am dealing with zoa pox outbreak on a new 3" rock covered in zoas which I introduced 2 weeks ago. There are 2 areas involving 8 or so polyps. Other polyps are fine currently. I know furan 2 is the most commonly used method of treatment and I am familiar with the protocol. I came across some websites and posts mentioning cephalexin dips as being quite successful. I was hoping to get some more feedback and experiences anyone may have had using cephalexin or any other antibiotic for that matter. I appreciate any input. Thanks!!

I never had zoa pox, so I've never tried.
