A Simple Zoa Garden for Your First Reef Tank? Our Zoanthid Only Build!

[@jade_colubris]

Nice. This was posted 15 minutes after my zoa mystery pack from tidal gardens was delivered. Must be fate lol

[@PyroNJ67]

Great video Matthew!! Got started in saltwater watching some of your videos! Remember the move video with all the buckets, and still have your recommended equipment list saved!!! Been at a standstill for alot of reasons, but a zoa garden would be an nice start back in!!

[@never2late454]

Glad to see this as I'm one of the few Zoa only tank owners. It's a highly addictive hobby.

[@Dragonsdrakes]

I'm an odd ball. I am all about the zoas. I'm obsessed with having only zoas and palys in a tank. Maybe some acans too... but I am fully into a large zoa display.

[@calanprc3]

Thank you! Very informative video!!!

[@calanprc3]

Beautiful coralscape

Awesome vid!

[@ou812reefing]

Thanks for sharing this Great information

[@gunstrucksbbq]

Have a Fluval evo 13.5. I actually had an issue with nutrients being too low causing my zoas to not grow or grow very slow. Even caused a hairy shroom to shrivel up. Said simply they do like a bit higher parameters than other sps lps corals.

Waiting for macro algae vids!

[@ManiacalMangoes]

Another great video. I still miss that intro music from your beginner series though!

[@MrRandallDish]

What ATO are you using? Do you add kalkwasser to your top off water?

[@gbxgbxgbx]

Wouldn't risk having these in my home. At some point you're gonna have to take them out or clean the tank. Good luck with that.

[@artistic_spaz3724]

Wish my zoas would fill out...think I have a couple slow growers, but like everything else in this hobby, guess ya have to have patience

[@BRStv]

Some certainly grow out faster than others. Like you said, patience 🙂

[@laurenhepp4681]

I got my first reef tank this year in February. I’ve got an anemone that’s doing really well. I got my first zoa frag a few weeks ago and the polyps hardly ever open and never fully. I can’t work out why 🤷‍♀️

[@Kpoole35]

Could be your lighting. top shelf aquatics has excellent advice on some of their zoa videos.

[@laurenhepp4681]

@@Kpoole35 thank you

[@ManuelCastillo-kq3xy]

Faites-vous des changements d'eau partiels ? quel pourcentage hebdomadaire ? Je veux faire mon zoa gargen, mais avec un aquarium de 10 gallons. Serait-ce 7 litres d'eau à chaque changement ou n'est-il pas nécessaire d'en changer autant ?

[@James-Lifts]

Hey man, nice tank. My question is what do you use as a lid? Why do I see so many tanks without lids on KZbin but when I try it my fish jump out of the tank ?

[@BRStv]

Tanks like the Innovative Marine Nuvo 14 tank in this video come with a lid included with the tank. A lot of people will remove the lid while filming, but have the lid in place when they're away from the tank 🙂

Hello looking to purchase saltwater fish online.. can you recommend site thats good

[@darkphoenx3930]

I’m immediately put off by the palytoxcin 😮😮😮. So just touching Zoa’s can be lethal?

[@BRStv]

Simply touching a zoanthid or palythoa rarely causes any sort of reaction. When it's most likely to cause problems is when you're fragging them (cutting them) and they get into an open cut or into your eye/mouth. If you wear proper PPE like gloves, eye protection, and a mask while fragging, chances for something bad happening are very very low.

[@darkphoenx3930]

@@BRStv oh phew! Okay you’ve restored my faith hahah I wanna start with a small Zoa garden and some clowns when I finally set up my tank :)

[@hemptysgolf]

Hello what size nozzle for your nano tank I have the same 1/2” or 3/4” ? Thx

[@BRStv]

For the IM 14 gallon, you'll want the 16mm to 1/2" Loc Line adapter, then the 1/2" Loc-Line Random Flow Generator

[@colorblindreefer]

I have been waiting to keep zoas for a while but it's a pain in the butt trying to find gloves to fit my hands and at my lfs it's 125 for one small zoa rock

[@colorblindreefer]

@Matthew @BRStv I wish I did have a few that was as far as I know there is no frag swaps around me I have been trying to get more around me in to the hobby they would be hooked like I was and still am from day one

Why would someone even boil live rock? At that point IL just get new rock xD

I used f aptasi 2 times and it never did the job and makes a toxic looking mess in your tank the file fish will work like a dream but will nip your corals peppermints are in my tank now and I have no aptasia

[@sagrath1982]

Mmm, palytoxin!

[@clintparsons3989]

Back in the old days, none of these colors were around. Where did they come from then? We’re they newly discovered?

[@DanGrubb1967]

Okay I got to ask you this what's the deal with Worldwide corals why all the hype is it you guys are getting kickbacks from them because in my opinion they're overpriced there's a lot of more reasonable dealers out there and their corals are just as fine so why the hype

[@MondoMiami]

Couldn’t agree more. I used to live in Orlando and shopped at WWC. When I relocated I couldn’t believe how much more affordable corals were elsewhere. WWC pricing is like shopping at an airport.

[@aquariumhobbyist4485]

Informative video, but honestly I feel like that danger warning is pretty unnecessary. I’ve never heard of or seen a single person become sick from them. It’s like creating a video about installing a drier or something and giving a stern warning that a hot drier can burn you. How realistic is the danger posed to someone from a hot drier? About as realistic as the danger from Zoas.

[@Arcflash207]

It's definitely something that has happened quite a bit.
