So it seems like the only unhappy things in my tank are my zoas. I started with around 11 frags that had at least 5 polyps each. I would say about half of those frags seem to be doing okay, but the other half aren't. The latest causualties are apparently death maul zoas, which I'm really bummed about. I started with 4 polyps on that frag, lost the first two (they slowly closed, shrank, and then disappeared), but the remaining two seemed to be doing well, and I even saw the beginnings of a new polyp. But when I came in to the office after being away for the weekend, the two remaining polyps have closed and shrunk, and I can barely even see the baby anymore. The only think that has changed in my tank is that the sump is now running, and the overflow box is right above where I glued the death maul zoas - not sure how much this changed the flow in that area (there's probably 4 1/2 inches between the frag and the overflow box). Lighting hasn't changed at all. It is so sad to come in every day and see fewer and fewer zoas or completely empty frags (2 more totally empty frags today). Is there anything I can do to reverse this?
