Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[mkutsch]

Yeah.

 

[brett_schn]

Yeah I’m pretty sure I’ve seen zoa gardens with thousands of different zoas touching

Thanks guys. I'm trying to plan coral placement so everybody is happy. It isn't easy in 8 gallons. I've made mistakes in scaping for sure. My son likes it, so I'm working around it.

 

[Katrina71]

I never really planned on having coral in the beginning. I'm new. Who knew?

I know it's a taboo subject and there are many opinions, but just be safe with the Zoas. Especially around your little boy. Make sure he doesn't grab them and touch his mouth or eyes or something.

 

[Katrina71]

I know. Thank you for your concern. I almost got rid of them because of that. He is fully aware of those. I myself cannot find any gloves that fit. I wear like xs or xxs. I just try to be careful.

 

[Katrina71]

I do wear safety gear when I mess with the zoa. My son watches. I just hate baggy gloves.

 

[Katrina71]

I'm really fair and most likely would be the one to get a reaction.

 

[Katrina71]

So far the gsp seems to be ok with the new location. I guess time will tell.

It's really not that huge a concern for most folks. Esp if your just moving a frag.
Otherwise wed never have fragged zoas in stores. The common exception is the paly and proto paly. The green brown ones.
I do use latex surgical gloves instead. Its easier to find sizes.

 

[Katrina71]

Those are the ones I have. Still too big. I also have a latex allergy. I try to use nitrile.

 

[Katrina71]

When my son isn't around, I'm bad and just do it.

This is good. I, along with others I know, were sent to the hospital, and here's why.
My friend was ticked off with some zoas for invading an sps rock so he took the original rock and put it on top of the metal halides to die over night. They did, and almost took he himself and the rest of us watching a football game. This is because they totally vaporized. Completely, just like that. The vapors wafted downstairs and hit us and we were out, just like that. Top ten in deadliest poisons for sure.

 

[mkutsch]

But I graft and splice to my hearts content, without mask or gloves. As a word of caution, back away when you smell copper.

 

[Katrina71]

Thanks for your caution. I don't think I have to worry about fragging.

 

[Katrina71]

I don't watch football. :)

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

What zoas did you get? Named ones?

 

[Katrina71]

What zoas did you get? Named ones?

Yes Red Hornets.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Coool. I'm terrible at the names.

 

[mkutsch]

It seems that people name em while sky high. I had one named lemon drop godfather. Like, what the heck?!
