Couldn't let it go, huh?

please don't go by barcelona

Welcome. Read, read, then read some more. It's awesome that you have someone to mentor you but you need to do the research and own the knowledge. So you can have the tank you want. I think the coolest part of this hobby is the people. You'll be hard pressed to find a better bunch of people. Dave I love that pic.

I'm with Mike on the kalk paste works great

Zoas do weird stuff and sometimes they just melt. You might want to try a freshwater dip or getting someone to host them in their tank.

Jake's got it the cheapest that I've been able to find, plus it's Jake.

nice job Mark.

Sooo pretty. Got zoa envy!!!!

As long as your not dosing and do a water change you should be ok

Everything I've read about vodka dosing starts with have a good skimmer.

EPIC

Thanks C&B the pink zippers opened up in the bag and look even better in my tank. thanks so much for the awesome frag and letting me drool over your tank.

How are you today ?

not bleached, checked out coralpedia and they are there hate the name though, ten. vols

Here they are:

I want to start "banking" some of my beloved corals so depending on how fast they grow out I want to put a couple of frags in other tanks just in case mine melt so I'll yell at you guys when they are ready.

This should help Recipe #1, Part 2: The Alkalinity Part Spread baking soda (594 grams or about 2 ¼ cups) on a baking tray and heat in an ordinary oven at 300°F for one hour to drive off water and carbon dioxide. Overheating is not a problem, either with higher temperatures or longer times. Dissolve the residual solid in enough water to make 1 gallon total. This dissolution may require a fair amount of mixing. Warming it speeds dissolution. This solution will contain about 1,900 meq/L of alkalinity (5,300 dKH). I prefer to use baked baking soda rather than washing soda in this recipe as baking soda from a grocery store is always food grade, while washing soda may not have the same purity requirements. Arm & Hammer brand is a fine choice. Be sure to NOT use baking powder. Baking powder is a different material that often has phosphate as a main ingredient.

I got those as well. I'm glad to see someone is as stoked as I am about them. I had a webinar and didn't get home till after lights out so I couldn't get pics. I haven't been this excited about zoa's in a while.

I got the bioactive from RC for way cheaper than online

I started using the bioactive salt mix and really like it. It's pricey but hey what isn't in this hobby? I read about it and wanted to try it. I was at a point where my tank was just ehh. I got the salt, re-did the rock work and fell back in love. So what do ya'll use and why.

Got a chance to look on coralpedia and they look like these vol. orange http://www.coralpedia.com/index.php?module=Gallery2&g2_itemId=995

Hey I hope to see everyone out for Jake's bash. I'll be doing computer spinal screenings and giving away a bucket of bioactive salt (the kind Clint uses) a $50 dollar gift card to River City and a year's worth of care. All that to say I'm more excited by the wicked cool zoa I just got from R.C. it has a white skirt with a red center. Anyone ever seen these or have a name for them? I call them awesome.
