Hey guys,
I just came back home from a summer session of classes and asked my dad to watch my tank while I was gone. (If you saw my post in general discussion it's still the same story) My dad is fairly competent when it comes to reefs, his little 24 nano is doing just fine.
Anyways, I came back and my 2 colonies of zoas are in horrible shape... I have one small colony of Watermelons and another small colony of Pink Lemonades. All the polyps still appear to be there, but they have no mats, won't open up, but the few that are open are about the size of pin heads.
I did a 20% w/c (as opposed to the 10% weekly) when I came back hoping that would help and the watermelons have opened up a few more, but still really small. The lack of mat is what is concerning me the most. Also I don't see any spots or hitch hikers on them, just small naked zoas.
My parameters are fine, all right where they should be. The only thing that I don't have is Iodide test kit, but everything else is par.
My lighting isn't the greatest, but it's a 4x96 watt PC over a 75 gallon. I have 2x10,000k and 2x03 Actinics.
On a final note, all my other corals are doing fine, Pagoda Cup, Torch, and Green Bubble...
I have to get ready for work, but I can put up some pics later tonight if I get out in time.
Any help or suggestions would be great!
