Fast Zoo growth

[justinl]

lol people usually try yto do what you just did by accident... dunno why you'd want to stop it. If you're worried about overgrowth and crowding, set frag plugs or something (I use clam shells) around the zoo colonies and as they grow, just use a razor to slice off the bit on the shell and voila frags and a trimmed colony. if you're really set on limiting them, cut back feeding again and see what happens in a few weeks.

LOL, they growin huge for you too? They are LARGE in my tank. I'll see if I can get pics later. Camera kinda busted. But I do have some little Orange Skirts that over doubled in size too. Guess im lucky? I'll get some oyster shells and whatnot, see if I can make them migrate?

BTW, whats an easy way to get them off the host rock they are on? An In Tank procedure. Can it be done without harming them?

I've had luck with scraping off the mat of zoos and then using a razor to slice off the part that i lifted off the rock. Do your best to actually scrape into the rock so you get a thin layer of the actual rock instead of cutting up the bottom of the zoos. Dremel works well, but a knife will do. You can then superglue the bottom of the loose zoos onto your plug.

I'll pick them up the next time I'm in 100 Mile House??
