Re: My simple zoa garden setup

I just used some reef-safe glue and slapped them on there, lol, didn't want to overthink it, figured they'd find a way to stick around.

Re: My zoas won't open up

So I've been doing some stuff. Huge water change, 80 gallons, about a week ago. Brought nitrates down from 80 to 5ish ppm.

Added air stone in stage 2 of my refugium, trying to get pH up from 7.4/7.6 to 8.2. Then I dipped my zoas in 50/50 hydrogen peroxide for 2 minutes. Used q-tips to clean off ...

Re: My zoas won't open up

Thanks for the reply. I think I might've made things worse with the Vitamin C addition - the Zoa page swore by it, but it caused a Skimmer surge and all the waste collected in a week+ was returned into my tank. So that's probably contributing to the higher nitrates. Water changes are on the agenda ...

Re: My zoas won't open up

I'm at a loss here, guys. I've had these zoas for a bit now and they're just not opening up like I expected. I've got the Kessils set on Active 1, with the intensity varying but the color staying pretty blue - maxing out at around 30-40% or so. I've also got the Fluval 2.0 in the middle, but I'm not ...

My zoas won't open up

I've got two A360WE Kessils and a Fluval 2.0 Reef in between, and I just got a package from Aquarium Depot. Chalices are doing alright, but most of my zoas aren't opening up fully.

They're currently at the bottom of my 210 gallon tank, which is 29 inches deep. I've got the Kessil settings on Active ...

Re: When do new zoanthids typically open up?

Been a week now, still waiting on some of them to open up. Got a few Radioactive Dragon Eye and Red People Eaters that are partially opened, but the rest are still closed tight.

Re: When do new zoanthids typically open up?

Just got my first order from Aquarium Depot (akareef2go) - a bunch of new goodies. It's been about 24 hours now, and I'm seeing just a few polyps popping out here and there. All the new additions are placed low in the tank. Had some mixed results with the inverts - 2 Tonga snails made it just fine ...
