I've grown several nice zoa gardens over the years and agree to everything in video, especially the nutrient params However, there's a point of potential disaster here i wish was made more clear. Healthy zoa/paly gardens thrive in nutrient rich water, but so do nuisance algae. Note how clean his tanks are. Keeping a nitrate level of 10 and phosphates at .1 in a 4 month old tank is virtually impossible. Nuisance algaes take hold suddenly , your nutrients bottom, and water changes make things worse. Most zoas can't handle this and will melt or recede. Getting those nutrient levels up and keeping a clean tank takes time, attention., and a bit of black art. Gorgeous tanks. I'm not too far from toledo and would like to make a trip.

100% this is a good point I should have touched on. There is a balance between nutrient rich and algae control.

So my levels are really high but I don't understand why my Palys are doing fine but my Zoas are receding... should water changes still help if I use an rodi system?

thanks for the tipps!

Another video of fragging them and additional tips would be great

nice video, im glad i found your channel, wow the chalice at the end is fire!

Just bought a whole bunch off your site. Amazing colors can’t wait to see them in my tank

I have a few different zoas in my tank can't wait to see them grow out 🤙

Beautiful collection of Zoas & Palys. Having them on the substrate is a good idea. You are on point when you talk about a more nutrient dense system for them to thrive in. Subbed your channel. Keep up the good work..

your words seem so genuine. such valuable knowledge. i really appreciate this

That chalice is mind blowing

Great video, great looking zoas.

Awesome video.

Very informative. Will be popping down to my LFS for a few

Great video from beginning to end. That's what I'm talking about!! Wish I could give you 2 thumbs up.

Whoa the zoanthic colony look incredible beautiful

Thanks March. They are beautiful.

I used to keep zoas, I miss it. I had over 120 different kinds

Great video vary helpful

As a zoanut this is my favorite video.

Waiting for the goni video. Just found your channel and it’s very informative to watch. Keep up the great work

great advice

Many thanks March 👍😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I love your store. Can't wait to visit again in person. Def, 5 star coral IMO. I personally am having some zoa issues. Mine are stretching. I do have a shitty light system....I use fluval marine sea...once upon a time I was new to this hobby. Just purchased 2 ai primes 16HD. So here's hoping its a lighting issue.

Did the light fix it , i have same problem here

Great coral spot light and well presented! Been reefing for 17 years or so and found almost everything you mentioned to be spot on when it comes to these corals. For the love of God, please QT your corals folks! A ounce of prevention beats the hell out of a two ton pallet of cure 8 days a week!!!

Thanks for the video! I have a frag of Utter Chaos in my SPS reef. It started out with 4 heads (about 15 months ago) and now it has about 11 heads. Then again, my nitrates are at about 1-2. I’ll slowly make some changes 👍

What gravel is that in the basement tank

Love trattoria Al forno we stay at boardwalk all the time. Their lasagna is so good.love that area of Disney so much. I’m dying to go back even though my so is 17 now. Take in all those moments 💜

Love your love for Zoas. Just recently saw your video on you visit to Cherry Corals 😍 I have two questions for you... 1: How do you keep super fast growing Zoas from taking over a garden? Calculated placement of Aiptasia X? 2: Have you gotten Zoa frags in where some just won't open? What do you do when their friends (other colors) right next to the do open?

Some sweetness right there!

I think you have a unique perspective as a shop owner or worker many of us don’t get to experience as we watch from home. If you are short on video ideas I would be interested to see the mistakes you’ve made in the shops ie about the big fish wipe out, tank crashes, how you take shipment and putting the stock into tanks

Great video idea so to talk about kalkwasser in top off water. When to use it and benefits.

Great video! I love your collection and all those colonies! By keeping the z's & p's on larger substrate...does that make it easier to frag? (sorry if you covered and I missed it.)

caribea sea crushed coral, its the best

Hi from Halifax, first video I caught and it was great! I see you caught Remy's attention and he has the same question I have. I see larger substrate under the zoas. Are the zoas on tiles or do they also grow on to the larger substrate. I could see how it would make fragging easier. Thanks again for the video, please do a fragging video. I would like to see a second opinion, I assume most of us new reefers have only seen Remy's fragging videos. I have two 80 gal reef ready frag tanks and 80 gal display. My frag tank has been up for 2 months and I have a variety of 30 beginner corals.

They would grow over the large grade gravel

Question for you March I few zoas and Paly the are pretty leggy (as we would say in the garden world). Two I don't know the name of but one is a single head at the moment of purple monster which from my understanding are usually tighter to the rocks. I run a maxspec razor at the moment, peak is about 55% blues and 5% white and on a 40 IM I run the Nero 3 at 25-56% random flow. Tank ATM is a few lps (Duncan, micromussa and a favia bother of those on the sand) yuma, and a few other mushrooms.

Amazing collection of Zoas you guys have there March. Beauty setup. The zoas pictured at 8:08 are absolutely insane- any chance someone can tell me what those are? Ps. My first order from Fragbox arrives tomorrow. 🙏👍

Armageddon zoanthids !

Awesome zoas .. what kind of substrate is that ?

Hey March love your videos man I'm definitely a fan, speaking of fish and ich ,I'm not shure what's going on with my tank recently I had overdosed iodine and crashed my whole tank and killed my xenias and clown, I've since started over my snails are still alive and I've got some more xenias and zoanthids doing great,I've done atleaste 3 water changes since the crash so the levels should be down now,I've tried re introducing 4 different clowns and they've all died over night how can this be I've never experienced so much trouble with clowns there's no ammonia no nitrite, could it be ich I don't see anything out of the ordinary ,bristle worms ,and tiny white worms could I have some kind of bacteria?

If looking for an idea for a video, try a video on keeping a reef tank without a sump!

When will you have these zoas available for sale so many nice zoas wish that they were on the website

Ive heard somewhere that theyre actually more of a anemone than an actual coral.

Hey guys! I love your stuff- 2 questions on this video- I really like the pink-ish zoas with the blue centers, pink ring, and what looks like maybe torqouise lashes on the outside at around the 6:44 mark?... and then #2- the the multi colored zoas around the 8:34/8:35 mark- that have the blue eye in the very middle, then green around the eye, then the orange-ish ring, and thick purple outer lashes? Can you tell me their names? i dont' think you mentioned them?

Good day, I would not interconnect other tanks with a main system if you run into a problem it will effect everything not a good idea to be honest with you. Thank You 🙏. Peace Out. ✌️

Please do a Montipora video

What are those at 2:08, they're beautiful. Looks like they should be called Tron Zoas.

❤❤❤

Heard you mention you use Redsea AB and reefroids but what where some of the others you mentioned? Also as your growing these colonies do you mind sharing the light parameters you're using on say an AI or something similar and how much light are you giving them daily?

My secret, high nutrient availability and high nutrient export, amino & trace elements dosing, med-low flow

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never had any luck with Zoas

Oh yeah....you've probably found out bubblegum digis love nutrient rich water. German blues like things a bit more pristine. This is a perfect scenario to frag out bubble gums which are criminally under represented in reefing.

Guessing zoas might he hest as one of the LAST additions to a small system? Any recommendations on other fairly easy to care for species.that would do OK in a low-medium light and low-med flow tank?

Hi great video can u tell me 100% flow which be middle to high ?

What ZOA is that at 8:05?!?!? Please and thank you!

Moderate to high flow what that’s in percentage from 100% to 0. %

I have a 120 gallon tank want to do a all soft coral tank what do you suggest for corals was thinking about palys and leathers

👍👍👍 👍👍 👍

Mine hate higher light. They love PAR of around 50

Do you use any filter for the video? I am looking to buy some.

Man! What are those zoas at 8:10 i want some!

Jesus those pink. And the interstellar Drool😅

Good advice! Do you have an issue with nuisance algae considering those higher phosphate numbers?

I have had them ship to me in new Brunswick in winter. They put in a heat pack or 3 in one of my orders.

Nice, how high are your led lights, like height from Zoas?

How do you feed them

Is Zooplankton a good all around coral food?

How often do you feed them? I am getting some zoas and they will be the only coral in the tank aside from the hammer and GSP. Once a week? Twice a week? Broadcast with the AB+ or target? How much? I figure my zoas will be 3-4 heads.

What lights do you keep over the frag tank?

What type of sand bed do you use .in your frag system?

What were the zoas @2:13? Lovely

Is it possible to keep the camera as steady as possible and to focus on each coral a bit longer? Love your videos but getting motion sickness:(

What is your Feeding routine for the zoa tank Thanks

Hi , by any chance do you happen to know the name of a coral that releases colorful substance in the water? I dunno if it's a coral but I found it in the sea. 😅

More on zoas!!! More on Zoas!! And more on zoas!!!🤪

My zoas did great for a few years but the growth has stopped the past couple years and I ln not sure why

Trying to find an ID for the Zoas you showed in 2:09-2:10ish checked ur website but couldn’t find anything that looked similar. Please let me know very interested!
