Zoas with undetectable nitrates and phosphates?

Vitamin C for zoas??? That's a new one for me! I have some BA vit C I had chalked up to snake oil... you give me new hope .

I use buffered vitamin c (sodium ascorbate) no fast pH drop

As for the zoas, looking at the time lapse, I think they are getting annoyed by all critter traffic (spaghetti worms, vermatis, asternia stars, colonists snails, small bristle worms.....

I'll dip them in RODI pH adjusted then tank water with iodine, but Im at a loss as to how to decrease the fauna in my tank.. Or is that the issue?

I love zoas and want to grow my collection, but SPS seem easier! Is that weird?

zoas are dirty and hide alot of critters and filth an army of wrasses would help keep them clean

Yes Denny
Melanurus Wrasse is on my list. Just need to call around to see who has them

The butterfly fish is eating spaghetti worms and tube worms. Hope he starts feeding on aiptaisia. Also took your advice to get a harlequin shrimp.
Did you get a Copperband butterfly?

my no3 are 0.5 ppm and my po4 is very low and my zoos grow like weeds, I feed them.
