Bio cube 14 stock lighting and zoas?

[Liba]

I was just wondering if the stock lighting of an oceanic bio cube 14 if sufficient enough for zoas? Looked couple different places but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Thanks

Forgot to state it's a 24 watt 10,000k bulb?
Thanks

I don't see why it wouldn't be. If it's stock lighting it's a power compact with 10k and actinic.

Yeah I'm upgrading my lighting, but for now just have the stock lighting. I'm even using old bulbs and see some crazy growth from a frag of test zoas I put in the other week.

This is a picture of my test colony as of yesterday. Like you I was unsure so I found a cheap colony at a lfs discount rack. They have been in there a few weeks now and I've already seen it's grow. To top it off these bulbs they are under, not sure how long they were run before I got them, are years old.

Very nice!

I had a biocube for 3 years and had tons of zoas the whole time, I just changed the bulbs every 6 months religiously...
