Zoa colors fading from carbon dosing

[xoticlover]

maybe DAVEJ can chime in on this. I know he vinegar doses and he has the most vibrant zoas and palys.

What lighting does Dave use ?

[xoticlover]

ATI T-5 and LED strip supplement

Yup, I restarted dosing vinegar after giving up on bio pellets.

I have had no issues with my color on my zoas.

I dose acropower as well, maybe that is helping?

We have literally the same collection of Zoa's. I wonder if its the NOPOX vs Vinegar. NOPOX is a different compound of carbon. I'm thinking of not using NOPOX and switching to vinegar anyway. Vinegar is 2 bucks, NOPOX is 30...

Using a 6 bulb dimmable ATI with 4 blue plus, 1 coral plus and one giessman full actinic. As per your recommendation Jess.
Also have a reefbrite XHO full actinic as well.

I use biofuel by brightwell, don't know if depends on what source of carbon you use, eventually mine are getting better but also lost some of them, the only thing I switched in the last few months was only the carbon dosing.
Actually since I took the kessil down and going all t5 they are doing better, but probably for some of them is a bit late.

Yes I really wanted to love my radions. But alas Zoas didn't. Lol
Doing much better under t5's.
