I need a little help here. I have a few pieces of $5 rock zoas, those cheap kind. Notice they open big and nice for quite a few weeks, then it started to close up and refuse to open. After 2-3 weeks staying close, these zoas will wither and waste away, not all, but most of the polyp on the rock. What could be the problem? Those zoas that cost over $20-30 are doing fine and show no such sign. I'm puzzled, hope someone can shed some light. Thanks.

Have some time today, pick up a red goni and a prata, my very 1st prata since I start reefing 20yrs back. Please advice how to keep and maintain prata. Thanks.

nice prata...our prata have the same colours :thumbsup:

medium to low light & not too much flow will get the prata to open more, weekly target feedings of Mysis will help too

Your nutrition maybe too low for this cheap zoas. Zoas need at least some nutrition to survive.

Always wanted a SPS with light green base and coloured tip. Today I finally found it. Have no idea what SPS is it, can help to identify it. What is the requirement for this piece? Light level and flow please.

I didn't do any setting. Notice I have to place the iphone cam flat on the tank glass to take the pic. If it's tilted an angle from the glass, then the pic will turn out with bad colour.

Opss. Forgot the hydra52 light are new equipment. The colour of the hydra52 are better blended and intensity much higher. Have to tune down the white to peak at 50% compared to vega which peak at 90%.

SPS seem to like this light combination and growth took off. Even new acquired SPS are showing sign of growth within days. Now have to dose Part A and B everyday, manual dose.

Wow. So long didn't update my tank. Been thru many up and down. Dosing pump dump almost 2 litres of Part B into my tank. Bacteria suddenly decide to bloom. Power trip for 5hrs etc. Murdered many SPS. And now is my latest FTS. Ha ha
