Those Zoas are very nice and happy there. :)))

I am moving my zoas when switching tanks, putting them higher up and changing the tubes.

Where is the Rhodactis though, I thought you would get the green tips on picture like I never can. :grin:

Was not sure which camera you used chuck.

I know one of them would have picked it up better, I challenge you get a glowy pic of them, I have never managed it properley. :wink:

That algae looks like it was a right pain in the ;-' , do all start up tanks have problems with algae initially? or can choosing a good quality live rock help prevent this?

I never had any trouble with the nano if honest, however the big tank was rushed too quickly at the start to strip the old nano set up down...
Also I used D&D salt, which had accidently released a high po4 batch by mistake....don't think this helped..

Good live rock will definately help as long as things aren't rushed and a good close eye kept on your water conditions

Thanx everyone...trying to keep that wild look in there with the corals the system can maintain....

My piece of Twiggy settled in and out to feed at night, took a couple of days to feed but now opens fully both day and night and happily pulls any food from the flow...
