I just went the carbon route as well; I bought the drop in sleeve from redsea since I have a redsea 170; if it doesn’t work well there I’ll go get a mini BRS reactor and a small maxi jet to tumble the media.
I was looking at the bra dual reactor for I think 100$ with pump in cluded.
I did but it came right back. Peroxide did kill it tho, maybe 80% off a colony.
Did you get it sorted out man? My zoas are starting to do this.
Yes! Your gonna laugh but water changes is what stopped it. Weekly 20% for me cured it.
Glad to hear, thank you for getting back as alot of people dont and it leaves the internet in the dark. My zoas are doing better with the lights turned waaaaaay down. Lights were overkill on my tank, the zoas themselves could handle it but the algae around them were growing too much and choking the zoas. Havent seen some of colonies look so good as they do now.
So glad to hear that since it took forever for me to get back. But I can see how that plays a factor seeing as how light plays a factor and zoas really dont need a whole bunch if light to grow. Like I said water changes helped mine. But I know zoas and palys, tend to recover the most from peroxide dips. They are the only corals where I will dip them in that over coral RX from the success I've had from them. Normally I do a low ratio mix to.
I actually bought brs carbon, not the premium but put it in a baffle in my sump and it works wonders on clearing up my water.
