Sick zoas

[jmatt]

I had my main return go offline for nearly four days without noticing (Apex and the controller showed it was on, oy) and the zoas looked worse for wear. But everything's been straightened out for four or five days now and they still haven't bounced back. Everything else in the tank looks fine, fish, goni, torch, hammer, GSP, etc.

So now I'm starting to wonder if the problem is something else. I tested the water nine ways from Sunday and everything checks out with Hannah and Red Sea and my LCS. Nitrates reading 9.5 as of tonight. They've been like this for over a week. I have a few other zoas that look fine.

Any suggestions? Am I just being impatient? Tank is three months old, rock and sand were cycled for many months and everything looked fine until last week. They just won't all open, they looked terrific before this.

Give it time. If they were good before the main went out for 4 days, they will be fine again.
