10-15% water changes daily...really...daily? That seems a little like overkill, but if it works for you...

How about ph swings? Are you using chaeto or kalk at night? I am setting up a zoa only system and curious about how well they handle ph swings.

Great read on this short little thread. Very informative. 90% of my Zoa's have melted in the past year or so. I finally got motivated to figure out why. I keep a log of all my aquarium chemistry in excel and while I don't measure often I was able to look at it and determine that the main reason that my zoas vanished was low alkalinity and PH. My calcium levels are always high. One thing I have never measured is Mg I need to bite the bullet and get a kit. Not sure why I didnt start adding supplements to raise Alk and PH. Anyhow currently have my Alk and PH under control just need to maintain it and see what happens.
