    How much white spectrum do you run for your Zoa tanks?

    If you scaled your LED blue spectrum(s) to around 100% power, what power would whites be at?

For MH and T5...

    White specs on zoas

    I’ve had this Rasta colony for about 2 months. The polyps during the day seem to be half opening or not opening all the way as if something is irritating them. The lights went out last night and I noticed all of these dots on the stems of the zoas. I am aware of the sponge on the colony and am...

    Elegance Corals and Torch Corals

    Hey guys, I’m happy to say I have now had a very happy elegance coral for a little over a year now. However, as it’s gotten bigger it’s begun to get uncomfortably close to a few zoas. I’m thinking of relocating it near a few torches or at least under an arch where I keep a few torches. Would...

    Unhappy LPS and Zoas during fallow period

    Hey Guys, I recently set up a qt tank to deal with an ich outbreak in my Red Sea 250. Since then I've noticed that many of my Lps corals such as my torches and trachyphyllia have not been extending their polyps nearly as far as they have in the past. My zoas have also been affected with many of...

    Zoa Pox? Zoas Closed up

    Hi Everyone, I'm afraid I might have zoa pox. Since yesterday, my zoas have started closing up. Just now I noticed a white spot on one of the closed up polyps. Could this be anything else? Is there any good treatment for this?

    Zoa attacked by Asterina Starfish

    My new zoa frag was doing well until I found an Asterina starfish attached. Starfish couldn’t have been attached for more than 12 hours. Removed carefully but frag still looks bad after 3 days. Any suggestions on helping it get healthy? I dose ReefEnergy AB+ every other day.
