Ok, well I've read in more than one forum on Chams and Beardies that coccidia oocysts are NOT killed by bleach and only an ammonia based cleaner will eradicate it on nonporous surfaces. I did read in another post that someone found that high powered Hydrogen peroxide (used in salons for hair bleaching) apparently did the trick in his Cham's (or Beardie, I forget which one now, lol) tank and he's been coccidiosis "free" since 2008, living in same said tank.

My question is this, though-- I started reading the article on How to Do a Fecal Exam Frog Forum - How to do Fecal Exams and took note of this statement:

"The effects of salt solutions on parasite shape should be understood. Hypertonic solutions draw water from the bodies of larval parasites and parasitic protozoa killing them and distorting their outlines to such an extent that they may no longer look like typical parasitic species. This can make these organisms difficult to identify. The fecal exam must be done as soon as possible after it is prepared to minimize the time that the organisms are exposed to the distorting solution."

I got to be thinking about that and the possibility of using Epsom salts for disinfecting tanks, but then again there's that "oocyst" question again... would they or would they not be killed by the salts (as mentioned above) though apparently bleach won't effect them?
