How to Make a Zoanthid Rock for Your Reef Tank (Beginner Level)

I traded this zoanthid rock for some ailing SPS. If you couldn’t tell by now, I love zoanthids! They can add a pop of color to any tank. I pulled out the camera and shot the simple process of making a zoa rock. Hopefully this helps if you ever decide to make your own!
I’m hoping the SPS pulls through. For reference, the JF solar flare looks the best…all the others are still struggling. Fingers crossed!

Thank you very much for this video. I have gotten back into the hobby last year after a 10 year hiatus and still consider myself a beginner. Zoas are definitely one of my favorites right now but that is probably cause I am having great success with them despite the algae problem I've been fighting for months now. I've even had a few frags that were completely encased in hair algae. To my surprise, once I finally got them free of the algae, they had doubled in size as well as number of polyps. Oh, They even survived a devastating heater malfunction I discovered when coming home from work and finding most things dead and my water temp at 97 degrees. I was crushed and even planned on just breaking my system down again but procrastinated a week cause I just didn't want to deal with it. Man, I was completely surprised to see that all my zoas (and a couple mushrooms) survived. These suckers are resilient! And now I have trouble NOT picking up a zoa frag when I stop by my local fish store. I've only managed it twice. lol. But my addiction is real, and hearing you praise OSA so much I wanted to check them out and see what amazing zoa options they might have. Which brings me to my question, are they still offering any corals or have they moved to just offering equipment and supplies? I don't see anything listed under livestock.
@BahamaLlamaCoral
@BahamaLlamaCoral 4 года назад
Yep! You're correct...currently no livestock on OSA's site. They are making some changes to the system so keep checking back. Thanks for watching and welcome back!

Nitrifying bacteria live inside reef rock. If it all is covered by zoanthids does it looses its function or the nitrifying bacteria still does the job.
@PiperHipsz
@PiperHipsz 4 года назад
What’s your recommendation for zoas not opening up? New tank setup beginning of January 2020. Have about 10 different kinds, 5 of the plugs are just not opening up. Others are thriving. In the beginning they were all open and then all of sudden closed.
@BahamaLlamaCoral
@BahamaLlamaCoral 4 года назад
Biggest factors with zoas are nitrates, phosphates and they are prone to bacterial stuff. I keep my nitrates between 3-5ppm and PO4 below .05. PO4 will tend to irritate them a lot.
@PiperHipsz
@PiperHipsz 4 года назад
Bahama Llama Coral thanks for the info. Do you dose for nitrates or just over feed? I’ve got 4 fish in a 40g and I can’t seem to get above 2 nitrate. I do feed twice a day and reef roids every 3 days.

Love to have a Zoa rock. As soon as my bambams sprout I will have to hit you up. Right now, can't get these Zoas to grow. I am having issues with trying to keep my nutrients up, could that be it? What are your params?
@BahamaLlamaCoral
@BahamaLlamaCoral 4 года назад
I've been keeping nitrates at 3-5ppm and po4 less than .05 - zoas seem to be sensitive to high phosphates. Also, the dreaded 0 Nitrates, 0 Phosphates aren't good either.

@BahamaLlamaCoral
@BahamaLlamaCoral 4 года назад
Everyone always says "zoas like dirty tanks." I don't think dirty is the word I'd use but they (and most coral) prefer some nitrate and phosphate in the water. I think my ideal range is nitrates at 3-5ppm and phos under .05. All my params are pretty typical. ALK - 8, CA-420, MAG-1300ish
