Anyone using MH lights for a zoa tank?

[raynist]

I have a Sunpower (6x39w) on my 40g breeder right now but was considering moving to halides.

What halide combo's are you running on your tanks?

Was thinking about going with a Maristar fixture. I am not a big fan of T5's any longer.

Thanks
Ray

I use a 250 watt mh 20k XM and 2x55watt actinic over my 30"x20"x18" zoanthid tank.

 

[650-IS350]

250MH 20K XM with 4 24watt T5s on a 37gallon cube.

 

[Ritten]

250 20K XM with no actinic over a 39 corner tank.

20k xm seems to be popular.

Is that a DE bulb?

 

[Hoodrich]

it comes on both mogul and hqi

I also use 250 MH 20K DE.

I'm using 2x 250w MH 20K (e40) and 6x 54w over a 200Gal system.

3x 250w 10k MH over my 180g w/ actinics too white for me tho will prolly change to 20ks when these burn out

I have 2x250w 20k Elos Spectra De bulbs. Was running 14k pheonix bulbs, but switched over a few months ago..

 

[650-IS350]

20K DE XM's switched from 14K DE's recently

Im running a 250 watt 15K Radium bulb and 4 X 36" VHO super Actinics on my 40 breeder . I wouldnt run anything else .

i use a coralife clip on on my 24 gallon aquapod and it is fine. Just make sure you have it at least 16-20 inches above the water line.

i don't have exactly ONLY zoas, but i surely do have a TON of them and i run 250w radiums with t5 actinic supplementation... they color up nicely

 

[usol]

I have 2 x 250 K radiums the zoa are SUPER happy

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

I have a 150 15k on my 24 nano.zoas seem to be doing good.

@ Ray,

Havent you used and owned a ton of different t5 fixtures? What happened to change your opinion?

 

[hunnicuttz]

I have a 150 20k on my 15g zoa tank.

 

[StillerNat]

150MH 20k Uahio on my nano

2 x 150MH 20k Radiums with 2x39w actinics on my 24b nano tank. im switching out the 20ks' for 10k XM cause i want to get better growth on my frags.

2x250W XM's on my 46 bow, not just zoas but a bunch of 'em.........
