What kind of lighting do you currently have? Zoas can thrive in PC all the way up to MH
Try and get Zoas from a tank that has similar or the same lighting that you use. If you use PC and get Zoas from a MH tank your Zoas will more then likely change either loose the pretty color the once had under MH or they might devellope better color under lower lighting.
I bought some very dark blue zoanthids from a MH tank and put them in a T5 tank. Within 6 months the so called dark blue Zoas turned 3 times from blue to blue with yellow rings into purple with yellow rings they are awesome.

A 4xT5HO fixture would be perfect for a 90. You'd be able to grow most anything (as long as you kept the more demanding SPS in the upper half). You could get by with less for zoas, but you'll be wanting more soon enough.
