Tricks for growing out zoa frags

[subman]

I don't acclimate at all either and have had very few zoas melt. There are two different issues here one is growth the other is life. I'm with Denny about the lights, one of the biggest causes of melting in my opinion is change in light.
What lights are the frags under where you are buying them? I used to assume zoas and palys liked lower light but in fact most have done better in very intense lighting.
The other question is growth. Food will increase growth dramatically, but I find they just need time to settle in then the exponential growth with start.
