my new 90

[kclewis]

final stages of the new 90 are finally here. after many years of reefing ive finally decided to devote my life to the zoa. out of all the corals ive kept i really enjoy them the most. so now for my question: what, if any, are some critical, you can not live without, facts i need for a zoa tank. ive read as much as i can get my hands on but thought i would go straight to the people that would know best. as far as what will be running:
90 gal clarity plus tank
70 sump/refugium
2 x 250 watt mh
2 x 96 watt pc actinics
led moonlight strip
wavemaker
mag 9 return
berlin classic protein skimmer

any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

if your only going to have zoas you could probably go with 175w's
i haven't heard good things about the berlin, but if you have it already...

Dip and quaratine EVERYTHING!


Inspect, inspect, inspect

thanks for the replies. as for the berlin its kind of tempremental but produces some really nasty funk and as you said i already have it. thanks again

175 watt halides are probably enough.

This is the best advice you have got so far

I agree with dc 909. Take it one step further and set up a small QT tank for zoas also.

thank you all. i already have the 250s is such a thing as too much light for zoas? any more suggestions? im always open to advice.
