Zoas won't open up
My zoas will not open up more than this. More light or less? Could the dinos in the tank be causing this? They were reaching for light during a blackout (fighting Dino's) but never recovered.

Did you slowly increase the light intensity after your blackout??
Perhaps it has shock from the change if not No expert though Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk |

I'm having the same issue with my zoas and also have some dino algae issues... I'm thinking that is our issues and I'm hoping the water changes I'm doing daily will solve them... please update if you solve this issue!!

After the blackout I did acclimation mode at low intensity for a week. Everything else in the tank recovered well.

If you had T5s wouldn't be an issue.
I'm sorry, but there are so many light problems posted with those LEDs... Grandis.

I have worse LEDS then you and mine are completely fine. Also move position in the tank of possible mine will sometimes do this if they are in to much flow. I will also play around with the position for lighting instead of my actual lights. Let us know how it goes. Those LEDS are completely sufficient for Zoas though.

I am two days out of a three day blackout. The Dino's are still hiding and the zoas are fully open. They must have just been pestered by the bacteria.
