Just too big for me 🙂 Naw I’m lookin for a tiny tank to put in my room. Also I’m gonna do a science fair with it and see which type of zoas grow the fastest depending on the food fed to them or something😂😂😂. This would be so easy and an excuse to my parents for getting a new tank. I gotta start working though to make some money. Hopefully I can get a job somehow even though I’m under 16. Thx. 1 Quote Link to comment

In that case dose something like reef roids and propogate species vs species mushrooms vs xenia or something like that youll see results much quicker and the beauty will be there none the less! (I said dose some time of powdery food because zoas and mushrooms like proetin filled water and when starting a new tank itll get them going right quick Quote Link to comment

When dosing reef roids or something how long do you wait after putting it in to do a water change? Also couldn’t you do a sump with a tiny tank of about 2-3 gallons to increase the amount of water going in and out? Like a 3 gallon cookie jar as a sump then the tank itself? Would this make it easier? 1 Quote Link to comment

Would this make it easier? Actually no the less water in this the easier imo but then again this is my opinion but it is so because waterchanges are key and when the water you change is 2 gals as opposed to 5 (i do 100% waterchanges on the fly) it allows you to do them quickly. Also if problems arise, i do not ever test my water as every problem (that isnt pest creatures) that has to do with water quality is instantly fixed by a water change, replenish nutrients due to salt, remove nitrates and built up detritus, clear coral warfare (palytoxin etc) and anything related to sudden algae blooms or spikes. Recently to seed the tank with protein (since i have hidden macro algae) i did a very small dose of reefroids and didnt water change. No algae gree anywhere. So I did another one 2 days later. Still no algae so i did no water change. When spot feeding the corals with reefroids i use a looooooot of reefroids. I turn off the pumps and spot feed the corals. My waterchange is usually done after the corals have re opened up and are calm again. So around 3-4 hours later (just to be safe). Quote Link to comment

Do you rinse the mysis to get the salt off, or do you thaw in fresh water? Quote Link to comment
