antonym518 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I got a rock covered in zoas, 75 or more. The problem is that half of them have been closed up for about 36 hours. My lfs suggested micro vert and feed with a small syringe. Which I did. They are in a biocube 8. WAter conditions tested today nitrites and amonia 0. Did a water change the day before I got them. Have a clown and a anemone. But the anemone hasn't moved. So I don't think it came in too contact with them. Lfs thought that the anemone could be taking a lot of food, out of the water, from the other inverts. I have 4 small hermits and 2 medium ones. Also two snails, and a peppermint shrimp. But they all should be getting enough food from the times I feed the clown. Usually drop one to two pellets at a time. Untill the clown stops taking them, around 2 mins. Is there enough food for the hermits? I went ahead and fed the anemone today, giving it a small feeder. Took it right out of my hand and sucked it down. What else can I do? The biocube is stock lighting. I don't think it is water conditions or lighting because the anemone is doing so good. Link to comment
121a Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 they just need to acclimate, if they don't open in 3 days you may have a problem. Link to comment

joel sandoman Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 sometimes zoas close up for up to a week at a time for apparently NO reason. Mine do it once in a while. *Edit* spelling Link to comment

Mine do it once in a while. *Edit* spelling Would 56 watts 2 10000k 2 atinic Normal output, be enough to have zoas, and have them looking good? They would only be about 8 inches away from the bulbs.

121a Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 if you can put them on the bottom of the tank then slowly rise them up. Link to comment
antonym518 Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 if you can put them on the bottom of the tank then slowly rise them up. What do you mean? Also if I use three 2x14 watt fixtures how would you run the lights? Back 2x14 watt 10000k then middle strip 1 atinic 1 10000k then front 2 atinic? Link to comment
121a Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I mean, put them at the lowest point of your tank. Then keep putting them up higher till there where you want them, you need to acclimate it to your lighting. Link to comment
