Did something happen to the zoas you put in the bowl? Maybe it's too early to put them in there. I thought zoas and paly were the amongst the easiest corals to keep?

 

[Dtackett]

no nothing happened to them. ive just never been able to keep them. these are still alive. but its strange. i can grow pretty much any coral, i mean ive grown sps under a clf t5 combo i made, yet i couldn't keep zoas alive. ive tried a dozen times under a half dozen different setups. they've all died within a few weeks. but everything else thrives. but yeah, these are still doing fine. i updated my build thread.

I think everyone generally had that one thing that doesn't do well for them.

They had another about fish that some people just can't keep alive. The original poster said he couldn't keep firefish or something easy like that for his life.

You ever looked at porkchopsandwish(think that's his username) zoa tank? Wow! o_O

 

[Cleo642]

I just saw these, I believe they said they were called emeralds on fire.

 

[Dtackett]

nope. but ive seen some crazy zoa tanks and im thinking if i can keep zoas alive in this bowl it will be a zoa bowl with a colony of duncans in the middle.

I meant joshporksandwic, that's him. I know you probably saw his zoa thread. He is a zoa hoarder like he said. Here's a few pics from there.

That's a drop in the bucket of what that guy has. I think the top two pics were frags he was bringing to a swap or something.

[Dtackett]

nice. ill just be happy if these open and start to grow. if they do that then ill dump 100 on zoa frags to get this tank going

@Devlin I decided to come here cause I didn't wanna run away with their thread. I ain't been working since the last job. It's holidays and hard to come by, so I haven't been doing much with myself.

 

[Dtackett]

man, imagine 100 bucks worth of zoa frags in a 1 gallon tank lol wont have room for much else.
