:sad2:
need some help identifying the issue. I have about 25+ different zoas in the tank. They are all fairly small. Most of them have 2-5 polyps.
I've been seeing them disappear lately. all small zoas. At first I thought something ate it, because one of the polyp had only 1/4 left. (i didn't do a good job dipping). I observed the polyps at night for bugs but nothing.. a week goes by and everything was fine. I did a 3 day black out for cyano. 4th day (2 days ago), saw one of the 6pp zoa missing 3pp. today, only 1pp. the missing polyps all turned to little bumps. weird thing was it had 3 in the morning. so whatever killed 2 did it during bright day time.
my fish list are in my signature. i have never seen the foxface pick on any coral.
any ideas???
if i lose another frag or two, i'll start picking them all out of the DT. everything is glued down so it's going to be a pain..
question about temp zoa tank. (20long)
1. I have 2 Coralife Aqualight T5 Fixture 30" and bulbs. is that enough? Distance between coral and light? I have LED and never messed with T5s.
2. Would some flow from a HOB filter be enough? or should I put a MP10 in there?
3. how often should WC be? no fish, just zoas until i find what it is. or at least 2 month to starve out whatever is in DT.
nitrate: 0
phosphate: 0
cal: 430
alk: 9.4
Mag: 1350
temp: 79-81
sg: 1.026
thanks if anyone can help!!
