6 Simple Tips for Keeping Zoanthids Happy, Healthy, and Growing Fast

Bump.

I copied and pasted the URL and it worked for me when I Clicked on it but a few people say it would not open when they clicked the Link.

Odd?
 
Thanks for the great info, I have been struggling alot with my zoa's. It's really frustrating because everyone says how easy they are and I can't get much growth at all. So thanks again.

I will be making some changes for sure.

My question, when you feed you said that you just mix it all together and then do you just dump it in the tank or do you spot feed your zoa's? Should I keep pumps on to circulate or turn off?

Sorry if these sound dumb, just would like to have some success. Thanks

Your Welcome :)

There is no such thing as a Dumb Question.

I Target Feed Acans and Chalices.

But for the Zoanthids I just Dump it in.

If you are not Target Feeding anything Leave Pumps On so the Food can get around to all the Corals.

If you are Target Feeding Turn Pumps Off Otherwise the Food will Blow off the Corals you are trying to Feed.
 
Hey dude, nice zoas! But obviously this can't be achieved with a master reefer taking care of them. ;) Dude I wanna start my own zoa garden like yours, but I got a few questions. The bayer dip how long do you leave the zoa colony in the bayer liquid and when they finish their dip do you wash it off before putting it in the tank? So how can I get these nitrates without fish? I know about the reef roids I won't target feed because that becomes time consuming, especially with a garden. So you feed them everyday. How much reef roids do you put everyday? I use phytofeast as my source of plankton. Its really concentrated stuff. How many caps do you recommend I put in? The tank I wanna use for the garden is a rectangular prism. How many times a week should I dose alkalinity? I use reef fusion 1 and 2. So how many caps per day? How frequently do you do water changes and how many gallons should I replace with the water change for a 20 gallon? How do I get the nitrates high with no fish? I know how to get the phosphates high... Easy, reef roids! Dude, and lastly THANK YOU for this guide. I wanna start the garden to see if this can be a means of income. Does the same thing apply with palys?

Really good stuff, and I agree very much about how higher light benefits zoas. Mine browned out because I stuck them in a dim corner of the tank, but when I brought them more central they started to dazzle again. In fact, I have yet to find a coral that doesn't enjoy higher light actually. They just don't want it all at once. You have to acclimate to high light conditions. But once you do, watch out, they grow fast!
 
How strict is the no butterfly rule? I'm considering getting one for aiptasia control. I don't have zoas yet but i plan to because they're my favorite. Im new at this.
