I'm sorry to see your tank is overrun with nuisance zoas. Out of the goodness of my heart I'll help take some off your hands lol! Absolutely gorgeous tank! Loving your collection of zoas!

What a stunning tank well done there I hope to have some zoa's as good as that one day
just got a few !
Thanks! I appreciate the compliment. We don't get people over here ever so the only way we get tank compliments is from you guys, and it means a lot!
Nice colonies, are they wild? Are the green things majano anemones?

We feed a variety of frozen foods, mainly pe mysis thawed and strained then soaked in supplements. We use selcon, brightwells amino food supplements, vitamin c, and sometimes garlic. We feed about 6 cubes of the pe mysis this way each day and heavily soak them in all the food supplements for about 30 min or longer. Plus we use flakes and pellets to supplement for the anthias and other picky fish. Whenever we get time in the middle of the day.
We use a custom 5' life reef with a skimz 181 body on top for skimming.
Gfo in a reactor
Carbon in a mesh bag next to a korrilia 8 in the sump
One 40 breeder for the sump half filled with live rock and high flow with no light.
One 40 breeder half filled with macros, and half with live rock and soft corals light by a d120 with just white bulbs.
Waterchanges weekly I change about 30 gallons with instant ocean supplemented with mag and potassium.
Light cycle is different on each tank but most are t5s and all bulbs are ran for around 8 hours, then one stays on for 12 hours or so on each tank for viewing.
Thanks for asking!

That they do, half are closed up on a shrimp each time I feed!
Here is a pic of the 40 breeder we have plumbed under our sps and lps tanks which then drains into the dark high flow sump full of live rock. This tank and the sps and lps tank are all on the same system. The fuge has half rock and half macros with soft corals growing too. Mostly gsp and anthelia. Pods of all sizes are covering the whole refugium tank. Sponges grow great in our sump full of rock, especially the white kind that grows quickly. We feed it to our emperator Angel when we can.

Good morning piper27 I do belive that the zoa's are wild I'm in Melbourne Australia I think they come from the great barrier reef but don't quote me on this! Our local marine shop says they come from designated pick sites of rocks that have fallen off the reef? How true this is I don't know as for the anenome I don't know for sure about majano it looks like one but I'm pretty new to saltwater tanks only been doing it just over a year still much to learn. They say majano are pests I love these ones been in my tank 6 months or so and haven't spread glass anenome on the other hand pain in the ***! !!

Well we came home to a blown reefkeeper with water in it. The tank cracked where a bulkhead was on the closed loop... It is 3/4" acrylic and we haven't touched it since we installed it! The bulkhead was only hand tight too. I am lucky it didn't start a fire! I hate acrylic... crazy... Oh well, on the hunt for a cheap tank now... wish me luck...
