Another thing you need to consider is that there is ONE ocean, "Aussie" drives the price up just as fast as "Japanese Deep water" does. Are these actually collected from Aussieland and NOWHERE else in the ocean? Are these even from Australia? Probably not but if it jacks the price up and ensures demand people will say anything.

Can't agree more. Terms like "aussie", "deep water" and not to forget "rare" always drive up prices like crazy! I should have written "as far as I have been told" at the end of the sentence (I don't know why I always miss this line! maaaaann).

hummm ok after reading your other thread now im worried that your adding too many thingsto your tank that you cant test for.....




less is more.

you do not need a bunch of supplements to make a tank thrieve, zoas in particular are hard to satisfy with chemicals they do fine with just good water quality, good flow and strong lighting.

zoas are quite simple they need a proper temp,alk,salinity,lights and flow.....thats about the major things everything else is just a matter of opinion to make your zoas grow better or get better color.while they can do well if one or two of these things are out a bit for a short period of time they wont do well if this is a permanant problem.

no need to feed, dose , dip or talk dirty to them....they get by very well on the basics.

while vit c dosing is ok i wouldnt do it in a new tank like yours untill the tank is stable for over a year.
