Ok, so now that I have my 29 up and running JUST in time (this was my 12g nano moved into the larger tank last weekend with t5HO lighting) for the frag swap 3 hours away this weekend I am loading up on Zoas and a frog spawn. I am welcome to advice and need to understand dipping suggestions. So far the existing Zoas and gorgonia are exploding in the new tank with the new lights.
Existing load - All moved over from the 12g
2 Zoa frags
1 purple brown gorgonia
2 Blue leg hermits, 2 Scarlett red reef hermits, 1 cats eye turbo, 2 Astrias, 2 nars.
1 large pc of live rock (prob 10-12#) and 1 large pc of base rock.
I know I need to bump up my clean up crew a little but I figured I would wait for the base rock to get some life on it first. I already have a number of brittle stars and bristle worms moved into the base pc so it's well on it's way.
This weekend I plan on picking up a number of Zoa frags and the Frog Spawn. I didn't bother to dip my first 2 zoas (didn't know better) but what should I do with the batches coming in this weekend ? Since they are coming from a number of different sources how should I "clean" them before adding them to the tank ?. I read some things about dipping the Zoas in fresh RO/DI for a few seconds, would that be good enough ?
Would the frogspawn cleaning be any different ?.
