i have lower amt of light than normal, but my other zoas are doing great at the same level, i did not acclimate them to the light.

month and a half ph: 8.2 Amonia: 0 nit: 0 nat: 0 Phos: .25 kh: 196ppm 11dkh cal: 450ppm salt: 1.024

ok you may remember i posted about a worm in my zoas i couple weeks ago, i got him out by dipping so thats all good.. but now... when i first got the plug it had a few heads that were different color than the main part, (mains are orange, others are blueish green) the mains have been mostly...

QUESTION: what would be so bad about this?... 1. take all the critters out 2. scoop/suck all the sand out 3. put new live sand in 4. change 75-90% of water 5. test water for a day, make sure ammonia is zero or close to zero 6. put critters in im sure a mini cycle will happen but.. whats so...

of course.. you could have added them awhile ago as long as your water params are in check.. just make sure they are reef safe and all other inhabitants will get along.

no not a worm at all, it was really small.. though not very similar, mosquito larve comes to mind.. i have no idea

it worked! my LFS recomended melafix marine, as soon as i dipped it he jumped right off my zoas and i could see him in there dieing haha. it wasnt a nudi or bristle worm, it was more like a bug, seemed to have a small shell and two antenna, clear in color... weird..

what about tweezers? i know i risk messing up the zoas a bit but i dont have any coral dip is it even worth it or do they hide well..

im new to everything first of all.. theres probly a easy answer but i dont know it.. half of my zoa plug has been closed for 2 days now and i got a peek of what was causing it yesterday, its a white worm, pretty small, kind of looks like a bristle worm but im not sure its its hairy or not...

thank you for the help guys, i just picked up some glue, il be trying it out soon and im getting rid of 2 of my pepper shrimp, those things are PSYCO im hoping that will give my corals an easier time not getting knocked over. and my leather tree thing is missing.. its just gone.. i have no idea..

I am not using RO/DI water right now, i am using real seawater though since i have just a small tank it seems the best way, and im using distilled water for top offs. my water usually tests like this amonia:0 nit:0 nitrate:0 KH: 180-200ppm calcium: 500ppm PH:8.2 salt: 1.024 phos: .25ppm my...

ok so I really have no idea how you guys manage to have such beutifull tanks full of large corals.. im in need of a basic rundown on coral care, placement and just a general guide i suppose.. ive been searching with no such luck so im hoping to get some insight from the pros. ive had my tank...

no way haha, upgraded mr16 leds, and a single 9w? coralife florecent

yes it the edge, there is some really great reef setups that people have done with it and i fell in love also, the lighting is the only thing, i still may have to upgrade further..

UPDATES!!: so my tank has been running a few weeks now and i wanted to share a few pics and ask a couple questions. led upgraded lighting and coralife 10w bulb his name is stuart:D i currently have 3 hermits, stuart, some zoanthid and a mushroom so im noticing red growth on my rocks, im...
