Club-Zoa Care Spotlight...... Suggestions

[ficklefins]

I just wanted to let everybody know that the Club-Zoa Spotlights are not limited to just zoa/paly morphs. I would also like to expand the topics into some care techniques.

Here are some topics that we haven't covered yet that I thought may be a good topic.

Zoa Safe fish
Tank parameters (covered a lot, but may be worth getting a good range)
Frag techniques

Let me know if you have any other ideas. I am open to anything. Overall, I just need to find out what questions you people have. Feel free to post any question here or PM me.

Thanks,

Luciano

Do a thread on Prop Tank Angler fish! It seems like that was a nice topic some people got on recently.... I am looking to get one...

 

[Kigs!]

I'm not sure if that topic will be much to discuss about.
Add eggcrate.
Add frags.
Add an Angler.

I like the tank parameters and fragging ideas. But that article by Who Dah on fragging pretty much covers everything IMO. Also, a more detailed discussion about zoa diseases and preventing them from typical meltdowns or fungus infections would be cool.

If it was to be about zoa/palys... nuclear greens, armageddons, AOG, or some of the new morphs that has been showing up in the market recently.

What about something in detail, about predators. ID, prevention, erradication.

I'm new to this but I would like to see a sticky about the care of zoos such as lighting, water flow and feeding. When I joined it was the first thing I looked for and it would save people like me that are new from bugging you guys with the same old questions.

I think there is a lot of information out there on predators, eradication and fragging. I wouldn't mind seeing an article on raising colorful zoas....discussing parameters, lighting, suppliments that make the most difference, etc. I know that stuff has been discussed to the gills....but I don't know if there is a good summary article to reference anywhere.

I would like to see a listing of what colors do best under what lighting. for instance pinks mid-range lighting, blues low light etc.

I'm not sure if you are asking for Spotlights on these, but Club-Zoa has gone over a lot of these you mentioned.

Here is a roundup of topics people would like to see covered.

General care:
Lighting/Flow/Water Parameters/Feeding

Lighting Focus:
It would be cool if we could create a lighting guide that involved different setups. Color -vs- height -vs- lighting type.

Predator Guide:
I think this will be an important guide. The first one in the series will focus on what to look for when your zoas are unhappy. With pics of infested zoas and their enemies.

Then create a guide on how to deal with each type of predator with each getting their own spotlight. Nudis/Sundial/Asterinas/Spiders/Foraminiferan. I've seen most of these on a colony at a LFS so if I find some time I try and get over there to take some pics. It was amazing to see a display tank crawling with nudis/sundials/foraminiferan.

A LFS here in town has zoanthids just crawling with nudis....I mean there are so many that they are out during the photo period....

That's AWFUL!!! Has anyone told the owner how to get rid of them??? You would think he would, if they are eating his inventory!!!

I like the zoa safe fish idea- just so there could be a link to refer folks to when we needed it for them to read.
