I purchased my first few frags last week and has been in my tank over a week now. On my frag rack I have an:
- Alien Antivenom Zoa
- Rasta Zoa
- Blue Hornet Zoa
- Eagle Eye Zoa
- Forst Fire Digi
During the first hour in the tank last week, on the corner of my eye I saw my Copperband Butterfly start nipping at it (whilst the zoa's were still closed). Worried that it, or other fish may continue to do so.I put the frag rack within a breeding box to prevent any fish having a bite at it.
So I've placed it as close to the middle of the tank as possible so it will get most of the lighting. I also placed it right on top of the tank so that no fish would jump in, but giving it some room below water level so that a small amount of flowing water from the powerhead would flow into the box. Will this be any issue that would affect growth?
I am currently feeding it reef roids. My lighting is use is AI Hydra 64, in a 3foot tank. As you can see it's best tu the power head and is facing up which would put some flow into the box.
My queries are:
1) How do Copperband Butterflies fare with grown Zoas?
2) Will the flow that I am providing for the frags be sufficient?
3) I obviously want it to grow healthy and quickly so it doesn't have to remain in the breeding box for a long period of time, what should I be really doing to help frags grow?
4) How often should I be feeding it reef roids, or other food that would benefit growth?
5) What is the general time of growth?
