Tried to use only actinic lighting for some of the pics and they turned out all blue and were unuseable.

WOW :shocked!:

I like that second one from the bottom. You're donating that to starving Journalism students right?

[Beverly]

Thanks for the kudos, Brad and Murray :biggrin:

Albert, through an unintended trick of photography, the zoo's skirt in the second last pic is really green. Sorry to get you all excited over nothing.

Darryl,

The tank has only recently been set up. Have no frags to sell/trade yet.

Hi Bev, the 5th picture looks like the zoanthids I traded you a while back. Do you still have those? How are they doing?

[trilinearmipmap]

Nice looking zoanthids.

I got some zoos a couple of months ago and they are just not taking off. No new zoos have been growing so far. My water conditions are all optimal. The rest of the tank (LPS, softies) are fine except for mushrooms which are doing poorly as well, likely due to low nutrient levels.

I am wondering if I should move the zoanthids up higher to the light, I never thought zoanthids were very light demanding. Or could they be suffering because they want some nitrates in the water to feed on -- nitrates are zero. Or is a lack of target feeding the problem?

Any advice on getting healthy zoos like yours would be appreciated.

[mr_alberta]

How is the flow going over and around them? Strong? Weak? Also, you could try moving them up to higher lighting. Zoanthids usually grow much faster and color up better that way.

Harvey,

With so many different zoos in there, and all of them being moved around so much over the last two months, I can't tell who gave me what anymore :confused:

[MagnumReefer]

Hi Bev,

Since you are knowledgable with zoos, can you explain how to propigate or frag them properly (the short simpleton version).

Thanx

Darryl

Sorry, Darryl, not very knowledgeable about zoos yet. Just set up my tank a few months ago. Ask Bob-I. He knows lots about zoos.

[MagnumReefer]

Thanx for the reply. When I'm done with all my xmas stuff I'll look him up.
