growing zoas

unbelievable chris ^^ i dont think my plug has grown a single polyp in 8 months lol.

I have since moved one of the plugs into deeper and darker water and the polyps appear to be opening alittle wider so i think its happier down there. Ive also started dosing iodine in hopes that will play a positive role. Im wondering if im "overskimming" the water column and stripping it of most dissolved organics. I guess time will tell, ive got years of trial and error to see what works and what doesnt . Thanks for all the helpful comments

I have had about the same growth rate when i ran a carbon source (vinegar)to get nutrients really low and when i let me tank get a little bit dirty. I dont know what i could be doing differently. i also notice no difference in tap or ro water. The only thing i can think of is that i do not do water changes. i dont know if that is whats causing them to grow but its something to think about.
