    we just built our 75 gallon and my son and I have a softball sized rock that we have dedicated for a zoa garden. we already have 2 strains on it, a rasta and a bam bam. we like the bright colors too, this is our first time messing with zoas so its a learning curve and I wish I would have seen this video before cause we just glued the frag plugs to the rock (smh)… I found out about you from your appearance on reef news network, that was a killer podcast! keep up the good work!

    • @BahamaLlamaCoral

      First, thank you for watching! Second, welcome to the impending zoa addiction! Glueing the plugs isn't terrible as they will eventually grow over them. No biggie!! Good choices for the first couple zoas.

I have the perfect rock but can't fit all of my 25 Zoas & Paly's on it because of the plug. Bone cutters; check. Got myself a scalpel too to make fragging easier & I some Brightwell Frag Recover. Picked up some great tips from this video as well as your Zoa Fragging Video 👍🏻 Thanks!

    i ORDER 5 ONE BUTTON ZOAS, AND WANT O CREATE A GARDEN. hOW SHOULD i SPACE THEM? iT WOULD BE COOL TO GROW ALL MIXED TOGETHER. iSEE MOST WITH A PATCH OF ONE COLOR THEN A PATCH OF ANOTHER. i PREFER MIXED BUT IF i CANt do that THEN SHOULD How far should I space them... sorry caps, dont feel like retyping...lol How is it that wine chili is so big? is it feed more or just some grow bigger than others?

    • @BahamaLlamaCoral
      @BahamaLlamaCoral  5 лет назад

      It truly depends on the strain. Do some research on the different strains you have and how fast/slow they grow. I generally start them 2-4 inches apart. The Lime Chili's are just a larger paly so when next to a regular sized zoa they look huge.

    Love the work you did on that garden and your other videos. I will be doing a few gardens with the zoas i have. A few of the ones i like that i don't have are krakatoa, blue agave, hallucinations and white zombie or yoda. If i could find a cheap couple of polyps of each that would make it that much more better for my soon to make zoa garden. Also which should i keep away from each other or can they all pretty much be mixed with each other?

    • @BahamaLlamaCoral
      @BahamaLlamaCoral  4 года назад +1

      As far as I know, zoas are all good next to each other. The one thing some of the faster growing zoas will do is take over the rock. I'd stay away from Pandora's and Nirvana's in your garden.

    so whenever you attach any coral to rock you have to destroy the frag plug? You cant scrape it off like glue and all? Hate to throw away good frag plugs..lol

    • @BahamaLlamaCoral
      @BahamaLlamaCoral  4 года назад

      There is a technique you can use with a razor. You try to scrap into the top layer of the plug and get just underneath the zoa. 3 reasons I don't like this, frag plugs are super cheap, if you slip you could jolt as you're try to push or pull through the plug and slice a finger and if it's a higher end zoa you could do the same thing but slice through the zoa and damage it.

    Does zoas need more blue then white ?

    • @BahamaLlamaCoral

      I think most coral will benefit from a combination of both. I run more white light the first 4 hours and ramp it down the second half of the day.

    so what happens when 4 zoas on a little rock start to overtake the rock? Does it quit growing because there is no room? Seems 4 on a rock isnt much room at all. Maybe a good size rock but you called them rubble. Also mine are still on frag sitting in sand bottom. i have a 10 gallon, current orbit and a bridge with two rocks, one on each end holding it up. I dont know what to put directly under light on the bridge because its so close to light. I have 2 sps there now that I only bought to trade to my lfs because they were 5 bucks. But being its so close I need corals that like high light and flow, do you know of any lps or sofies that fit the bill? I guess I can turn light way way down and put low light coral there but If I tun it way down then I worr y the ones on sand bed wont get enough light!

    • @BahamaLlamaCoral
      @BahamaLlamaCoral  4 года назад

      Given that it is rubble if one zoa starts to overtake the others I can remove it from the tank and take it to the saw. Sometimes I'll take larger pieces to the LFS and use their saw. Frag it, reglue, sell the excess. The corals are always growing and changing so you have to tweak as you go. It's just part of the process. From what I know about that light, I don't think you'll have to worry about frying anything. It's not super powerful. The best way to be sure is to rent a PAR meter. That way you can see what it's putting out and adjust as needed.
