Josh,

So I was wondering if you could provide us with few specific.
-At what PAR do you keep your zoas?
- What water chemistry do you think is best to keep zoas?
- What flow?
- What would cause the zoas to stay small (they are growing but stay pretty little)
-Any other advice can you give us to be successful keeping zoas?

Thank you for your time and help

Not sure what he does, but my zoas took off when I started lugols solution every other day and feeding the corals more often. Zoas do eat, I've watched them eat.

1.Par around 180-200
2.Alk 9, mag 1400, cal 420. Anything close to that will be ok.
3.I use neros pretty high flow.
4. Many factors can cause smaller zoas.
A. Too much light
B. Water too clean
C. Fish or something picking at zoas.
4b. I've seen people that zoas are not big but they grow really fast in their tanks. If they're multiplying like crazy then i don't see a problem every tank is different.
5. I try to be as consistent as i can with water changes of at least 5% a week and once thenlights are off use a blue led flash light to look at the zoas once they're close to make sure there's no pests in them.

Really appreciate you taking your time to reply to all my questions. Happy reefing!

Just stumbled upon your thread and I can't quite put my finger on it but I get this feeling you enjoy the casual zoa frag 😂 very beautiful!

Also I have to ask, do you have every variant you own cataloged? I would forget what I have.

I guess taking pictures and posting it here counts as cataloging? But remembering anything is difficult with ADHD i forget everything really quick 🤣
