Default Zoos Issues
I just finished checking out some amazing pics of various zoos around the site and I'm stumped! I have a 4x6 inch yellow and orange zoo rock that is 75% covered and it's polyps don't bloom like say...Bob's. I have them up pretty high in my tank under 180watts of PC and NO lighting. My levels are pretty good most of the time and I suppliment with trace elements and CA+.

What am I doing wrong?

It is usually the type of lighting that makes things glow or not. If I put my zoos under one particular 28W PC bulb they positively glow. Under my other lights they are not nearly as colorful.

No recent pics, soon though. I thought there might be some kind of special technique or food that makes them look nice.

Try moving them down some. I have some that don't fare so well near them top, they started to lose their color and not open fully till I moved them down while others seem to do real well up high

Holy cow! I actually did that last night I think that they didn't like the higher current spot they were in, so I'll see if that works.

I really don't feed my zoos except sometimes I throw in some freeze dried Cyclop-eeze, or FD Phytoplankton, but that is hit and miss.
