The Zoa Naming Game

[Reef Junkie]

berns,
Welcome to the largest Reef Bulletin Board in the entire world.
Some of the comments made on this board are sometimes outlandish, but most people here are good natured.

I've said this many times on the Zoanthid Forum and I'll say it again.

Find someone on here that you like trust and has a proven track record in the hobby and ask the person if it's ok if you can ask them for help. Some of the most successful reef keepers on here have mentors.

Make sure they are willing, live near you and are of the same sex. We have too few women on here for the rest of us nutty guys chasing them away.:wildone:

A mentor will help you avoid really dumb mistakes and be there to laugh at you when you make them (this of course after they told you not to).:lmao:
They also keep you from being over impulsive and wasting time and money...hopefully.

Some of my protege's have nicer tanks then I do.:sad1:

Cheers

ahahahahha that was probably the funniest post I have ever seen on this forum in 2 years! True.. true... especially about the women... they now have electronic restraining orders on RC .... you must stay at least 3 threads away from the plaintiff...

yep its a cool site for sure

and i know how we read stuff may not be how the poster meant it to sound as im also one of those nutters:mixed:

as far as zoa's go i not anything too fancy to waste my money which is a shame but then when i do find something very occasionally with wow appeal its like a little victory for "UK the land of drab zoa's" lol

you lot should be ashamed of yourselves re chasing off the women, to find a fem with a zoa passion is at least a compromise if she not to pretty up top

anyway im here for the long haul and im a very tongue in cheek type and dont offend easily

talking of needing help i think i might do re putting the colour back into my pink zoa colonies.

they currently out of main tank (4x2x2 with twin 150w 14k halides) which bleached/turn them brown and now sitting in my prop my tank which is a 6" deep with a 3x 35W T5 tube luminaire over them, ive changed the white tubes for some blue 20k tubes as i read all time more blue better for colouring up but they still not looking any pinker after couple months in there.

prop tank is made up of live rock rubble base with colonies just sitting on that, flow is via a long spray bar over top of colonies, small air lift skimmer produces black water in cup.

i do feed prop tank once a week but wondering if thats enough, was thinking of adding 4 damsels and just feed them so as they inturn produce nutrients for zoa's

is there anything else i could do apart from adding the fish to help get the pink back?
