How high are you going to have to keep the light to spread it out over the length of the tank?

Nice tank! Do you plan on have exotic zoas or just common ones or both?

 

[fote03]

Im planning on adding as many types of Zoa as i can find that i like. I have a list started we will see how it grows!
