it is a great tank.
can you share the water parameters?
any tips to maintain these nice zoos?
SG:1.025
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
temp 79.2
Pho 0
calc 420
ph 7.9-8.2
Alk 8-9
I dont feed my zoos anything that doesnt go in the tank meaning that I dont target feed them. All they get are very good and stable water conditions and high light 150w hqi 14k. I have lost a few zoos here and there not many though. I target feed all my lps and thats it.

I had many zoos before. But some already died.
They started to not open then die off in few week.
My light is 10k. Do they like 14k more?

No not really. Mine seem to love it but I had t5s on this tank first and they were doing great then too.
How are your params? Maybe thats the issue. I had some in my first tank it had high nitrates they always died. But that was also a pc light.
I dont know give me some more info see if we can figure it out!

I suspect my test kits didn't give me right parameters.
I just order a set of new kits.
Will test again.
