Do you feed your zoas?

[spit.fire]

I supplement it with sunlight

All kind of feeding and supplements I blast mine with royals throughout the day as that seems to give me the color blast I am looking for.

Fish poop from business end of the fish

I don't feed zoanthids, I use to but growth was no better than not feeding them. I have quite a large collection and they grow fast so I think it works;ppp

Strong lights, stable parameters and strong flow.....equals great growth

Do you guy keep sps as well? Maybe alittle bit about the setups? LED's? Metal halide/t5 combos. Since fish poop is your supplement you bio load is pretty great? I've been reading around and some guys swear by spot feeding there zoanthids and some even broadcast feed, which seems a bit frisky to me but it seems to work for them. Thoughts? Guys that haven't tried feeding would you ever give it a try?

Yes I do


I have at least a coupe different types of zoanthids kicking around though


Shallow coral beds (12") , t5 lights , very hi flow rate , carbon dosed system , lots of fish, strong skimmer , 2 part dosing automated , no live rock or sand , fuge, gfo and heavy feedings for fish, long walks on the beach, reg large waters changes.

Hmm, I wonder how that would work for SPS?

Works great for zoas although sps may not appreciate it as they are high maintenance ......maybe dinner and a glass of wine?
