i did some looking in the tank today, saw both some spionid worms and vermited(sp.) snails... i'm wondering if they might be a big part of my problems???
Okay, we need to solve this

I have them too, I don't think they are the problem. I had them when my zoas all looked great.
About 1/3 of my colonies are opening and looking good again. All i've done is keep up weekly WCs, clean the mesh bags on my drain lines weekly, and add Phoslock and carbon in a HOB filter. I know my problem is different from yours, mine is this odd sticky cyano that has to be brushed off the polyps as that is the only way i can remove it.

i have some of that cyano looking stuff too.... i have to physically remove it by hand...i went ahead and fragged some of the colonies, and i moved them around to different areas of the tank hoping to see if that makes a difference... I guess i need to try the phosban....

I just tested my alkalinity and it was low, about 6dkh, so i am going to try to bring that up to about 10-12....

So any luck so far? My zoas are opening up more and more. My candy apple greens, which had melted away to 1 polyp, has grown a new polyp and just opened half way yesterday. Thats such great news for me, that frag has been closed for over 6 months straight. Now if my candy apple reds would only open, i will be in the clear.
I switched salts to Red Sea. I upped my WC amount to about 30-35% weekly coupled with phoslock, carbon, new bulbs, upgraded skimmer thru mods, added another 1000gph, changed all my RO filters, added 30lbs of rock, stir the sand, syphon, and I take each frag daily and let it get blasted by a MJ1200 for a few seconds.
I might be getting the upper hand finally. I've got a long way to go, but its nice to see a positive response.

Lots of vitamin C in Reef Plus. Check into the "Treating With Vitamin C" thread we have going here.
