Not another zoa post!

[peat12001]

well, i want zoa's everywhere in my tank. whats the fastest way to make them multiply. 10gal. soon to be 96w PC(atm its only 18w and it sucks), trace soft dosing, iodine dosing and DT reef blend dosing. anything helps!

don't dose anything you can't test for, the quickest way is to frag them.

Plenty of light and the occasional phyto does the trick just fine for me

Isn't Phyto too small for the zoanthids to eat. I though that was for filter feeders?

I've heard that before then I've heard that phyto wasn't to small so i don't know. but i don't think I'm hurting anything to throw it in there.

No doubt, but Phyto is insanely small. I use it for my Chili Cactus.

Honestly, I have no idea. You could try to target feed with Cyclopeeze, that is a nicer size. I feed my Blasto's, Duncan and Paly's Hikari Ocean plankton. They seem to respond well to it.
I rarely feed my Paly's and never feed my zoa's and it seems like a lot of people that I have read seem to agree that feeding them yields no growth results. If it's working for you, I would continue it. I'm on the fence right now as I don't really know what to think on the subject.

Welcome to the Boards
doesn't fraging just spread them out? and maybe kill a few in the process

 

[peat12001]

I'm looking for more heads, more color asap.

Spend more money. That's the fastest way!

I don't know if this makes any sense but I find the frags in my "zoo garden" grow quicker when placed closer together, as compared to the odd frag placed here and there -- I think they compete!!

 

[peat12001]

i'll throw money at "it" but i just dont know what "it" is
