Zoas

[Ferny27]

Cant keep my zoos alive even if my life dependent on it. All my parameters are perfect . I moved them low and then high and now med level. They last 3 weeks and start closing. What to do?!!!!

 

[jeffaquarius]

How old is your tank and what is your water parameter? They need higher salinity and good mag, alk and calcium. How do you acclimate them?

 

[Ferny27]

Acclimate ? I usually don't

 

[willbratz]

You should always acclimate. I run my salinity at 1.025

 

[Ferny27]

Mine is at that all the time also

 

[Ferny27]

I turn the lights up , turn the lights down , I have no idea what to do.they close up and don't open.

I'd give them a dip in some type of coral disenfectant like revive or an iodine solution to remove any pests that could be bothering them.

What kind of light is it?

 

[paul87]

What size tank, how old, and what kind of light do you have? Acclimation is a must for corals, fish, or just about any animal life form you put into your tank. A good coral dip is a very good idea as well and i strongly recommend coral rx dip. Zoo's can be picky.

Always acclimate, that might be the reason alone, plus like said above state your parameters, whats ur wattage in your lights etc

 

[Ferny27]

120watts
Have them less then 50%
