i really like those green ones

 

[divecj5]

They all look awesome, as usual, Marvin. I have to agree that the green one in your avatar takes the cake for me. Simply amazing the color.

Thanks a bunch..

I finally have a decent collection now and have been settling down on trading so I will be watching these guys grow and hope to document with pics their monthly growth..

I've finally able to narrow down my selection and have sold/traded/gave away the ones I decided not to keep.. I do still have some frags (from bigger colonies) in my sump that I'm propping.. Thanks again guys..

Thanks again..

I'm aiming to have larger colonies (30+ polyps) of my top 25 favorite zoas... I used to say I'll have my top 10, then top 15, then top 20, now top 25... LoLz.. I'm drawing the line here.... :lol: I think it'll be awesome to have 30+ polyps of Armageddon, PPE's, PD's, Nuclear Green, Pyro palys, Desert Fox, True RPE's, Mohawks, Pink Elephants, Rasberry Limeades, etc.... that is the ultimate goal!

Great collection there Marvin. What size is this tank of yours?

 

[MarvinsReef]

a very manageable 32g breeder.. LoLz..

dimensions are 24"L x 18"W x 18"H.. lighting is 250w MH SE 15k XM's no actinic supplementation.. need more flow though coz I'm only using a mag 7 return for flow.. I plan on upgrading to either a mag 9.5 or mag 12..

which one do you guys would be a better upgrade with flow?

Thanks
Marvin

[da6d2003]

I have chosen to supplement flow with powerheads in the tank with one of those cheapo wavemaker powerstrips. The zoas seem to like random flow.

 

[jjmcat]

Marvin im always impressed bro.You do have a nice collection.One day i may catch up but i doubt it.

 

[da6d2003]

Keep on tradin'.

You'll get there.

Man that green one is killer.
I'd save energy on the return pumps and just run some energy efficient circ pumps like seios, I don't know if this is a prob for you but my mags get hot and I'd rather not have to deal with the extra heat and wattage incurred from a strong return pump. The seios are only 8-10 W each and offer a nice spread of flow, if you direct them at each other it gets to be pretty suitable.

 

[MarvinsReef]

thanks guys.. I have a Seio 820 laying around so I will try it sometime this week and see if it doesn't stir up the sand too much.. if it does, I'll probably just go with a Seio 620 or 2 MaxiJet1200.. I know for most people, they don't like the look of having powerhead in their tank but for me, it doesn't really bother me much.. if they're going to improve the way my zoas look, then I'm good with having powerheads..
