Lighting for Zoo's

[snommisbor]

I was looking on Vivid Aquariums website at some really colorful zoos and it says light should be moderate to high. I have a 75 with Current USA Satellite 4x65 2 Acintic, 2 daylight. That comes to 3.4 watts per gallon. Is that good enough for Zoos.

Would love to get some of these because they have some incredible colors.

That should be plenty of light for zoanthids. They won't show the absolute greatest color but they will definitly live and grow under those lights.
