zoanthids dieing off

[scubasteve03]

So I have a few frags of zoas and for some reason Thay are dieing off. I have a 65gal with a 25gal sump 2 two bulb t5 ho two koraly 900. I also have many other corals like lethers acans, star polyps and such witch are doing fantastic. My perameters are trates-0 trites-0 amm-0 cal-420 alk-8 sal-1.026 my temp-79 to 81. I used to have a 30 gal reef with no issues but even in there I could not keep zoas. I'm starting to think Thay don't like me any info would be awsome thanks

Umm, the only reading I can find that they aren't liking you is because you have a two bulb fixture? I'm sorry that I wasn't much help... But I hope they stop dieing and and start living!

Oh and what's your PH?

My ph is 8.1 tested with a prob and I have 2 two bulb fixtures

Are you running any reactors? I have a buddy who couldn't keep zoas and he was running bio pellets and since he removed them the zoas are bouncing back.

No reactor I do have some roa phose in a Micron bag and I am running a skimmer.
