I diasagree also. I got a 150 watt sunpod over a 24 gallon nano with rics & zoas & they both are doing really well. The rics look alot better IMO. Just remember to acclimate the corals to the new lighting so you dont burn them.
so tell me eyebedam.. how far above the surface of the water are your new MH lights ? and how many hours a day did you turn them on for the first few days/weeks ?
Maybe 3 inches. I started running them 4 hrs a day for the first week & added an hr or so every week till now im at 8 hrs a day. Ill eventuall be running them around 10 but im just taking it slow. Ive already had 3 rics split into threes since Ive had my halides.
I agree that I have 150w over my tank (24" deep) & all my rics/zoas are donig fine, the halides themselves are about 7" above the water & I have 2 x 6" fans for cooling as required.
you have to think that were zoas are found in the ocean they are sometimes out of water due to low tides so when the tide is up they must not be to deep? but im sure zoas are found lower down so aclimating them you your tank specs would be a good idea( always)
