Growth rate?

[buttons buster]

If I had a colony of healthy tub blue zoas how fast would they grow?
*6 polyps on starting colony*

That depends on a whole lot of factors.
Zoos, in general are quick growers.

Tank size: 2 gallons
lighting: 50/50 7,400 daylight/14000 actinic 13 watts total.
No other inhabitants except for two nassarius snails

you'll get some growth, but for max growth mh's and t5's would work. but you cant get that on your tank.

some zoos are slow growers,but good water quality will make them spread in no time.

I have some true blues with red skirts that grow very slowly. About 1 new polyp a month.

What should the nitrats be at?
Well obviously someone's going to say 0, so a better question is what is the highest that they can be at?

zoo's still go ok in trates of about 20, much more than that and from my experience they dont like it..

Ok thanks for a helpful answer

I got some random freebie and have no idea what it is.
It is a vibrant green with some good sized polyps.
I can't really take a picture though because my cell phone camera sucks.
Do you know of any good ID page that I might be able to find it on?

How long after I put the zoas into the tank do you think I will have wait until they open up?
