MikeTR Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 might be zoapox or asterina star fish...do you have many small white star fish in you tank? negative on the asterinas.. I had the zoas for about 3 months before they just closed up and toasted away.. they had a brownish covering on them.. i thought it was fungus related.. some of the heads would just pop right off and black ooze would come out.

amnestia Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 No problem with it at all. Some of the nicest reef aquariums in the world (ever see the 5000 g tank at Waikiki?) are on a "flow through" setup where 100% water changes are happening every day. Not really correct to compare a constant renewal of ocean water to a 100% water change. One happens over a period of time with a continuous yet only slight change in water parameters while the other is instantaneous. As for the brown stuff it sounds like a fungus, freshwater dips help a decent amount with that. Zoapox look similar to getting a bunch of small grains of sand on the outer skin of the polyps, furan 2 dip seems to help be a viable cure. Zoapox won't affect fish. Link to comment
