I decided to start a new thread rather than add zoas to the Ric and blue mushroom thread. Anyhow, what is your experience for the length of time it takes zoas to open?
I have zero ammonia, zero nitrites, zero nitrates, and zero to .5 on the nitrates. I also have 49 pounds of dry rock, added over the past few months, and three to five pounds of live rock, plus about 15 to 20 pounds of live sand. The latest was added a couple months ago. I removed the ceramic pieces from the canister filter (yes, I'll get a skimmer eventually, but will be adding a sump first).
I just looked again and one is slightly open and I can see some green. I know I'm inpatient after the mushrooms (the last one is doing great so far). Just want to make sure I don't wait until it's too late and they die. Some sites have stated that it could take a couple weeks. Is this to be expected?
