required lighting to keep zoanthid

[snaza]

do zoanthid require lots of light. my tank is only 18inchs deep and i've only got 4x55w T5 lighting. is that enough to keep these corals and many other. i've got fish now and was wanting to build a reef tank. i dont really want to spend more money on lighting if i dont have to

u wont have any problems keeping zoas under that kind of lighting.. I had some under T8's in a 16 inch deep tank and they did really well...

obviously other corals r a different matter but most things will be ok under t5 lighting.

I have my zoo's under pc lighting , you should be fine. Check coral requirements before buying as some need more lighting than others

t-5 are nice and zoas don't need hardly any light.
