Hey Guys,
I have 4 black hornets that were a part of a group buy. My ballast crapped out on me and while Iwas waiting for payday to get a new one, I put a 175 mh fixture on. The zoas closed up and have not opened back up since I went back to my 250w fixture. Anything I can try or just cross my fingers and hope for the best?

Man I hate to hear that....that's painful. If it helps, mine stayed closed for about 4 days when I moved them once only to open and do well :) Now, if I could only get it to make more polyps.

Yeah man, it is a pretty slow grower, but went from 1-4 polyps over a couple months
