metrokat Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 figured out why i can't keep zoas.. zoa eating nudibranchs! dipping my only colony now.. Oh crap! You're going to have to inspect inspect inspect for a few months. What are you dipping in? Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Oh crap! You're going to have to inspect inspect inspect for a few months. What are you dipping in? i dipped them in revive 1cap/500mL tank water (a bit of an overdose, but that's the concentration i always dip at). from what i could tell the nudi's died. and yeah i'll be checking often until they're all symptoms are gone. i inspected and used a small syringe to blast every inch of the colony rock. i'm not exactly sure what the eggs look like so i'll have to google that. but they're actually starting to open again! 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thinking of getting some Berghia nudis to get my Aptasia under control. They just keep popping up no matter how many I seem to superglue, blast with boiling water, inject lemon juice.Plus my Crocea clam in the frag tank is covered in them and I want that clam back in the 65.Any body have any? Or know a good place to order them from? Quote Link to comment

evanski Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 figured out why i can't keep zoas.. zoa eating nudibranchs! dipping my only colony now.. Fuuuu...seems to be pandemic now. FWE works well, and I have added it to my dipping regimen. NOTHING kills the eggs, and they have a long cycle (10-14 days). There is a good description of my issues with these on my thread and elsewhere. I am all about dipping and weekly 2-4 hour long FWE treatments (pull carbon first). Like Kat said, inspection is important. Manual removal very important, but the little ####ers ingest the fluorescence of the polyps and perfectly camouflaged. Using a blue light at night when colonies have retracted works very well...easy to spot and remove with tweezers. GOOD LUCK! 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 thinking of moving the mp10s up vertically and cranking them to 70%... it seems as though even with 4 i get a very delicate but very random flow. i'll have to tinker with it when i get home next week. Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 They're all synced together, right? as far as i can tell. i know i have a master and slave. then 2 turquoise pumps on the back wall. (which i can control the intensity of). flow is good overall but i think my sps need more.. 1 Quote Link to comment
