So Im trying to narrow down why my zoas look so lame....closed up most of the time and rather small polyps with limited growth. I think its from limited nutrients in the water, as I have been waging a war against algae which I am finally starting to win.
The tank is a 75 gallon w/ 40 gallon sump. Its lit by an ATI 6X54 hung 18 inches above the water. I run 4 blue+ during the day time and a actinic and purple plus bulb during the off hours. The lights are on for around 8 hours each day, but arent on a regular schedule and sometimes are on for longer due to my controller being down right now. Fish load is a multicolor angelfish who is 3-4 inches and a pair of snowflake clowns who are at about an inch a piece. The only other coral in the tank are a few chalices, who look kinda pale, and mushrooms.
Alk 9.128
Phosphates .05
Nitrates 2
Salinity 1.025
I do a weekly 5 gallon water change. I run an SRO 1000 skimmer and run gfo and carbon for a few hours each week.
I dose aquavitro fuel every day.
