Hello everyone. I just bought and started setting up a 360 gallon tank. I moved everything over to it yesterday but am going to have to get in it within the next few days. However I have 30 zoanthid heads/polyps. Will it make me sick if I go in. I can’t aquascape with out doing this.

If no, great but if yes, is there any fear I should where or precautions I should take? Thank you in advance. Will post pics tonight.

If you are planning on moving that many zoas I would wear a mask, some goggles and gloves just to be on the safe side when move them. (Mask is optional but I would wear one just to be safe) If you take precautions you’ll be ok to move them!

Day 3. Tank is running now. Here are tank pics from yesterday. I’ll post another one of my sump room and of the tank today. The lesson for the week is patience while building, stocking and aqua scaping.

Here is the tank today and the sump room. I still have a canopy to build, stocking to do, and some cable management. If you have any other ideas on equipment let me know please. I do have a bashes bio media filter coming that I am going to turn in to a copepod home.

Well, everyone, one week into the tank running, here are some new pics. Bashsea bio media rector is running although not in its permanent home. Stocked it with three different types of copepods. Going to do a second dosing of them. Adding a fox face after my water change today to control some of the green hair algae. Also added a large bubble tip anemone, (although he went straight for a spot where I can't enjoy him, and neither can my paired clownfish.
