Killing zoas inside tank

Neo Jeo · Apr 10, 2020

Hey,

I have some zoas that are overtaking areas. I been squishing them but have had some issues with other corals.

do you think the toxins in zoas can cause harm to corals or fish? Or is it just humans?

thanks!

Anyone think this causes an issue?

I’ve scraped away a few at a time with no issue. But I imagine a large number at once could pollute the water.

Laser or kalk paste I think would work for you.

G’day mate, what kind of laser are you referring to? I have some plays that are tough as nails

That will work, I’m worried about the toxins it releases that’s all.

You could run some carbon during that time. That what I do when I bust the laser out.

I have a blue 5 watt laser from Amazon. I recommend getting some higher quality batteries. The ones with mine die very fast. I also might buy a nicer laser. I bought a cheap one that works pretty good so maybe a nicer one would work even better.
