Iodine

[lmoore2150]

I bought some iodine to dip some of my zoas that have recently been not opening up. I dont know if it is the right stuff though.
Its ingredients are:
Provadine Iodine USP, 10% w/v (equivlant to 1% titratable iodine)....................Antiseptic
If anyone knows it would be alot of help

Thanks, Luke

I would not use it to dip with. I also don’t think that you should treat if you don’t know what is causing the symptoms.

My timer broke, and my zoas got about 18 hours of light before I caught it. What would you suggest?
Thanks, Luke

Do nothing they will recover if they did not get fried. A treatment can cause more stress then help sometimes.

it has been about a week and a half and all but 3 have recovered. Should I just wait it out and see what happens?

Yep, if before the brake down they were happy looking good and there has been no change that may cause them to stay closed, then I would wait and see. Keep a look out for something that might be new making them stay closed.
