Lazyreefer Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Curious if anyone knows why zoas would be doing this? Some sort of pest maybe? Appreciate any advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyInside Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Looks like you are not getting enough light. When polyp’s extend like that they are trying to get closer to the light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I feel you on that actually just about to post within the next week or so to see if anyone has a hydra hd I can buy to put on this 25 lagoon just gotta figure out which mount I want. But I was kind of more referring to the skirt area it’s like folded up on itself or something it looks like to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try throwing carbon in...just a guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burningbaal Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 any change in water params in the past week or two? salinity swing? temperature? other params? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to get my reactor set up and running some mixed carbon and gfo so maybe that’ll help. 3 hours ago, Burningbaal said: any change in water params in the past week or two? salinity swing? temperature? other params? I think I maybe have been letting my salinity fluctuate to much to maybe the auto top off never stops in time in my little 25 lagoon so I have been just turning it on and off manually.

One tip I got a while back, I think from @Jeremy if I remember right, that's really good in small tanks that don't have a return pump anywhere, or a very large return section, is you can put the two floats for the ATO on the same height, but stick the tube from the ATO pump under one of the brackets (the high-point one) so they are at very slightly different heights. This way they are only about 3/8" different in height (if you're using 1/4" tubing from the return pump) and you are likely to actually fill it 'on time'. I can try to take a pic or draw something if that doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely interested in anything that would help it it’s a tunze auto top off btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 What are your water parameters? Do you check to see if your water change water is the same parameters as your tank water? I might look into your lighting as well as someone has stated, as your polyps seem to be reaching but this could depend on when during your lighting period you took this shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This picture shows the ato's water source line under one of the two brackets so it sits a tad higher that the other (they are both in the same position, so this is the only height difference).Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
