looked for nudis today, couldnt find any (ive seen them before and they are alot easier to find when everythings closed) found none

as for them stretching right now they are in the top corner under 2 250mh 14 hams and 2 110 actinics, so not sure why they seem stretched, they were always happy

Those are botton polyps usually the hardiest of the polyps. They also take in sand in there stems to aid in thwarting pest like nudis. They're also very invasive growers. Very strong paly toxin. ( Personal experience )

they still are not doing good, would a vit C dip work and how do you do it?

 

[Lotus99]

I did a potassium permanganate dip. There's my thread about it here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1347530

Since then, I've seen no signs of nudis, and my zoas are doing well.

Vitamin C is not a dip, you dose the tank with it (all your corals will thank you!). What size tank do you have?

90G

Go to www.i-herb.com & get a bottle of their sodium ascorbate crystals. Start by adding 1/2tsp, 2x/day & every 3 days raise it up by another 1/2 tsp, until you are dosing 2tsp, 2x/day.

Do you have a sump?

 

[scrmbld33]

20g long sump, maybe 10g total volume, so 100g total water volume in the system, so once im up to the 2 tsp 2x aday, how long to you continue dosing?

 

[scrmbld33]

oh do you have a link to the recommended brand at i herb?

I've never stopped dosing because for some reason my zoas aren't happy w/o it. You could try dosing less after they get better. Please take "before" pics!

If you have the time to read a really long thread: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1252294&perpage=25&pagenumber=1
