What were the Zoas attached to? Where they glued on? Certain asteria starfish will eat zoas as well. As for the fish The first guy could have been sick before you bought and laready on its way out.

i dont have any of the asteria starfish and if i do find one he goin to the sump.
fire and ice, a rock. so i dont think glued

Can you provide more details on your tank?

Specifically I am looking for how old it is. What powerheads you are running and what size is the tank.

If you could also post your test kit results that would be great.

 

[meagheavz]

it is about 9-10months old it is a 90 gal RR
i hav 4 power heads Hydor Korali
2 Koralia 4
2 Hydor Koralia Magnum
and as for test results everything was 0 or the min color( number)
sump w marineland skimmer

Have a picture of the tank??

So sorry to hear about your tank... You just have to stay positive and work on the cause.... But to start, some pictures and parameters on your tank would help.

Okay so you seem to have water movement covered. But coral placement could be an issue as well because too much movement can kill.

Did you check your test kit expiration and what are you testing for exactly...

I am assuming ....

Nitrates : under 15ppm
Nitrite: 0
Ammonia: 0
pH: around 8
Phosphates: 0

 

[meagheavz]

ill try to work on pictures im working 70hrs right now so i havent seen the tank...really during the day..ill double check the phos and get back to you.

 

[meagheavz]

i think my BF may b right with the snails ate some.
for water movement. it good one corner is super movement but the corals arent over there. im gonna look into it when i get home at 7pm

Unless they are Sundial Snails I doubt your snails are eating your zoa's. More than likely they are cleaning whatever the zoa's are on.

 

[meagheavz]

thats wut i said but the side they cleaned no long had zoos on it..

what's your tank temp? what type of lighting and how old are the bulbs? your phosphates might be a lot higher than zero from the looks of all the algae in there...

Well, there is no way the water quality is very good in there, just from looking at it. Can you rerun the tests that you have and let us know the results?
