Zoecon

[College_Reefer]

Hey everyone, I’m wanting to try adding zoecon to my foods to help stop/heal some potential minor HLLE. The problem is, I can’t find it anywhere to buy. Did they discontinue it? If so, what’s the next best option?

This is good as is Selcon and even vita chem

Just a side note - as a component of my HLLE research, I was not able to stop or reverse it with adding either vitamins or HUFA products. In minor cases, stopping carbon or moving the fish to a new tank can help, but in most cases, the scars are permanent.

Understood! As long as the fish are happy and healthy, the scars I can live with. I don't run carbon so that wasn't a factor, I moved them from their original tank and redid the rockwork, etc. as a direct transfer so that is all new, I purchased a grounding probe even though all the equipment is relatively new (just to remove doubt) and now doing Selcon just as a "what could it hurt?" preventative. Potentially stupid question, but can I add the water I soak the food in selcon with back to the tank when feeding? I usually mix it all together with a bit of tank water and then broadcast feed it all. I only use like two drops per night when feeding, is that good to add for everything or is that not advisable?

No - don’t add water with selcon in it back into the tank. The fish can’t access it from the water, so all you are doing is feeding heterotrophic bacteria.

I think I may have made that confusing. I put a little bit of tank water, all the food to thaw, and the selcon and mix it all together and let it sit to soak and then I dump it all in the tank. Are you saying I shouldn’t dump any of that water in and just filter the food back out to put it in? If that’s what you took from it and I misunderstood your comment, I apologize!

I’d pour off the excess water, then add the food. It just helps to limit nutrient loading when you do that.
