And in the end it cost me about $150!
So my newish tank (45 gallon) had it bad, thick snot covering everything. Zoas were looking rough, lost a fish I'm assuming due to the dinos. It was on every surface from the sand to the rock to the glass.
So at first I tried raising nutrients and manual removal. No way was I winning this battle. It came back stronger every day.
Here's what I did. I started using Vibrant Aquarium Cleaner. I used the recommended dose but instead of once a week I did it twice. First dose I noticed a small difference, second dose a bit more but It wasn't moving as fast as I liked.
On the 3rd dose I added a 24 watt UV sterilizer to my tank. Next morning they were cut in half easy, day after that 3/4s gone, 3rd day maybe 10% left on the 4th day, I added more vibrant and the next morning totally gone. Not one string of snot anywhere!
Vibrant+UV destroyed them! All Zoas are back open and loving life and my tank is crystal clear!!!
