this was probably by one of the worst audio of our video series. sometimes we just can't control our environment. Pumps, fans, chillers, warehouse ambient noises and heavy rain (this is summer in Florida) etc, it was extremely difficult. We will however look into investing more into better audio options. thank you for taking your time to let me know how to improve. :)

During this time I noticed when I changed my salt brands that my zoas have taken a nasty turn and started shrinking getting skinny my tank has been holding solid parameters as I manually dose to keep it stable but they are the only ones having an issue. I went back to my old salt and still my perameters are good and stable I feed them reef roids and other goodies I forgot about dosing iodine didn’t even think once about it thanks I bet this will help. Thanks.

Here in Hawaii the ancient Hawaiians actually used the zoas on darts to kill their enemies, not animals for food. Iodine isn't absolutely necessary to keep zoanthids thriving for long periods of time. It can be used to fight some of the pests though. Lugo's is a good choice to do that. I'm glad you are using Blue Plus bulbs. They are the best!

When I originally purchased my zoas they went from being short and tightly grouped to larger and stretching. Most of the tanks I see online have them short, small polyps and grouped together. Why would they start to reach. Some say light other's say flow it could be both, can you offer any advice? Last week I upgraded my return pump and with my MP10 at almost full the tank appears to have much more flow and I'm waiting to see the results.

Guys i have a problem with my zoa. Dark brown/black stems and some polyps are losing colour and turning brown. I've tried revive and coral RX dips and a bit worried about peroxide dips. What could be wrong with my zoa? Someone mentioned to me it could be bacterial infection and to try Furan 2 as a dip or tri sulfa in my tank. Not much available in Australia. Please help.

Dale Whitmore looks like your zoas are dying. Bacterial infection may be the cause and furan 2 treatment can help if that's the case. I would use soft tooth brush and gently scrub the brown and black dying tissue away, dip in iodine diluted saltwater and then find out what caused it. I wish you the best of luck!

We aren’t sure how to help our zoanthids and some have “melted” away and we don’t have many left. We also have green star polyps & Kenya tree corals that are still doing well.
