Only reason I ask is cause I could never get my zoas in my display tank to grow. They would shrink and dissapear... Then I bought a test kit and realized my alk was low... I bought some kent liquid buffer, not the PH but just the alk, it says it stabilizes your PH... Dont know if there's any truth to that but it seemed to work, my ph is now steady at 8.1 during the day and drops to the most 7.9 at night but mostly at 8.0.... Unlike before...

My alk, I forget how low it was and I havent got around to testing it lately but zoas are now holding strong. I even added some I bought recently to see how they did.... And all looks good... Hoping that's all it was...

Good luck to you......
Interesting. I've always found zoas to dislike higher alk. Mine did not like when I started dosing Kalk. I had to dose in small increments to make them happy
