    Great tank! Brilliant colors and placement. I’ve got hammer garden. Duncan garden. Torch garden. Toadstool garden. Mixed mushrooms - ricordea, rodactis and discosoma garden. But really what’s growing best is my acan garden. Very cool to do these.
    I’ve got in another tank a flat rock covered in long neon green gsp and has near the edge of it a stalk of branching hammer. Looks like a open grassy field with a tree.

    You have one of the most beautiful reef tanks and Zoa gardens I’ve ever seen! Also a very helpful video, as my 11 year old son and I are finally trying our hand at keeping a reef tank (26 gallon Red Sea MAX Nano tank) and Zoa’s are at the top of our list to have in the tank. We need all the advice we can get at this point!
    One quick question for you….. Are there any Zoa varieties that you find to be difficult to keep, or that you would not recommend to a beginner? I’ve heard there are some types that are much more finicky than others for whatever reason. Thanks!!!

    Great video at a perfect time for me.... lol. I'm about to embark on a similar mission but have had the polyps separated for quite a while and as such they are many more than i originally had.. ie 6 Rasta polyps became 160... smh.... What do you do when they polyps have grown off the plug and are attached to the rock? I'm thinking of removing the original plug, leaving surrounding polyps to do their thing. then using original parent polyps to start a new colony along their new neighbours.. Probably going to give the Acan/Zoa combo rock a try too.... Cheers buddy!

      @eatsleepreef9565  5 лет назад +1

      Hey man as far as zoas on rock they are hard to get off you can try with a sharp blade but won’t be easy. A good idea is to leave them there and start planting around them. Or remove them completely with tweezers if you don’t want them.

So I’m going to feed more reef roids and see how it goes. Any recommendations on good sellers of some of these outstanding zoas?

    what does your water change schedule look like? i ask because you are feeding reef roids 2 times a week and a tank that small you might have a risk of high nitrates, unless you have another way of nutrient transport..... my son just scored 3 frags of some zoas and we are starting up a small garden on a rock on its own away from the full aquascape!

    Gorgeous ! i bought 4 zoa or plays and want to make a garden, I want the colors to be mixed so each frag comes with several polyps. Can or should i place them a little apart and not put two of the same colors in close proximity to each other and that way it will be mixed through with 4 colors? Thanks for any advise:) How do you plant the acan so close to zoas without them killing each other? I have 2 microlords coming, I heard I could plant those together, and that you have to plant the same type for that not to happen. I almost backed out of the acan sale because I heard they were brain corals brain dosnt sound attractive to me but, yours look like flowers and I was so scared of my order that I got at a fast paced auction and dint have time to research each one and dint know much because i am a newbie so after I read about the stinging thing, i got freaked but yet you are able to do it and it makes no sense but this is living proof! maybe something in the reef roids...lol I had no idea that corals could be so nasty to one another..lol
