zoos

[fishfatty]

Hey...just wondering if someone could help me out....my zoos have been in my tank for about 4 months.....i dose coralvite, started to 2 weeks ago...they are under light in the bottom of a 75 gal. tank with 260 watts PC....can someone tell me why they arent growing? Am i supposed to be feeding them something else? Please let me know. Thanks

some zoos grow a lot faster then others, ive found that the more colorful the zoo, the slower it grows

 

[fishfatty]

they are pink with a little green...it just seems like they arent going to grow...end of story?

 

[fedukeford]

just give them time, they probley are spreading, but right now they are just so small you cant see them

 

[fishfatty]

i really dont think they are spreading at all....what do most people feed their zoos?

 

[chadman]

what type of salt are you using?

 

[chadman]

i feed my corals every three days...i have five or six different foods which i interchange and mix...you shouldn't feed anything in your tank on specific thing...in the ocean fish and corals rely on a varied diet...

What are your water levels (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, kH, calcium, SG, and temp)?
What kind of CoralVite are you using? (Kent or Marc Weiss?)

 

[chadman]

lion_crazz - just noticed your in Philly. I live right in Reading. Small world.

Nice to meet you

I was just in Reading at the outlets a few weeks ago.

salt- instant ocean.....i feed the coralvite by kents marine every week....dont know if i should be using more for my corals?

 

[chadman]

awsome!!
about the salt...i used instand ocean for a while and i also niticed minimal growth from my polyps....i switched to pro reef and have noticed a HUGE difference

 

[fishfatty]

what is the price difference? what about red sea crystals or whatever?

 

[lion_crazz]

I am not a fan of Instant Ocean either. I like Oceanic and Tropic Marin the best. Also, next time you run out of the Kent CoralVite, pick up a bottle of Marc Weiss' Coral Vital. You will notice a difference.

 

[fishfatty]

it seems as everyone tells me something different...i dont know who to listen to!

 

[chadman]

we are saying the same thing don't use instant ocean salt...get tropic marin pro reef....
