Got a few zoos from reborn a few days back.

Did a freshwater dip and a bit of shaking just to check and makesure no uninvited guests :ph34r:

Now got 2 rocks not opening up.. While the other is opening a little only...

Scared they die w/o opening at all.. :pinch:

Is it due to too much light? Too little? Too much flow?

Tank full 2ft deep to sand bed

Position of zoos: 1 3/4ft down from lights

Running:

150W MH 20KK

250W MH 10KK

temp: 27.0 - 28.5

Thank you :thanks:

bro it takes a few days to open up after fresh water dip.

Anyway how long did you dip in fresh water.

Tanga/cityofangels: Only dip for <5min

Flame-Tail:

nudi... How small can they be? Cos i don't see anything moving among them (lights or off)

Any tell tail signs like miss polys or?? :angry:

prec: Running only 8hrs now was originally at 12hrs. Or is 8hrs still too much at 150W MH?

Zoons are placed close to sandbed abt 2ft below lighting

Thank you all for yr valuable advice :thanks:

Nudi-branches are like sea-slugs. They can come in a multitude of colours. Apparently, they change colour according to the zoos they are feeding on. Therefore, it is often VERY hard to find them. Their camouflage is fantastic! And they will mow through your zoos if you don't exterminate them. :pinch::unsure:

Anyway, just some pics of nudi-branches which I got from the net. Remember, they can be any colour!

Anyway, Is there such thing as too much light ??

I think ZeRoC00l lighting ok leh.... 2ft down leh.

Pai se, I use T5. Dun know e pwr of MH. :D

zoos dosent require super strong lights tts y i sae that using 250w plus a 150w mh is way too strong for zoos...2ft in height is jus nice for a T5HO...

but definitey...zoos dosent bloom bocs it dosent lyk the direct lights blasting away..

my 2 cents..

i dipped into freah water for abt 3-5 mins. afterwhich, put it under the running tay for abt 1 min. While doing so, i aslo shake the zoos to try to shake off some nudieggs and the irritating pests. :evil:

Some got stressed up by the way i did and will only open up after abt 3 days. but after the process, they r a whole lot of happy open zoos. :yeah:
