New tank.

[Poomba]

My tank has been set up and cycling for almost 4 months now, and I would like to add some zoas.

Its a 75 gallon with an ATI 6X54 Sunpower.

Ammonia: 0
Nitrites:0
Nitrates:5-10
Ca:450
Alk:10.4
Mg:1300
Phosphates: .16


Would I have any issues adding zoas to the tank?

salinity?

1.025 measured by a calibrated refractometer. Also flow right now is provided by a single mp40w/es.

Good enough for Zoas

Im just worried about my light melting them.

You could place zoa any where from sand bed up to mid-level of the tank with your light setting

Zoas are fairly hearty, and your lighting setup isn't anything over the top. My tank is.about to get 6x39w and its only a 40 gal.

On a side note, if you're worried your light is too much for your tank, what made you choose that light?

Hey Poomba !!! Congrats on the new tank being cycled and ready. How much LR do you have in it? How high off the water to your lights? Do you have anything in the tank yet? Your ready for some zoas for sure. I don't know that I could have waited 4 months. lol
I have had zoas that did fine on a rock near the bottom and I have had some up near the top that did fine as well. I have a 72 bowfront that's been up for over 4 years.
When you get ready to attach the plugs to the rocks, I use "Super Glue Gel" Just apply to the bottom of the plug and put it where you want it. Hold pressure on it for a couple of minutes to be certain that it has set up good.
Zoas are nice to start out with and there are tons of different ones out there. Just don't get all wrapped up in all the different names people come up with and enjoy your tank.
