Zoa placement help.

[eugene2009]

So I've picked up a handful of frags that i'd like some input as to where to put them in my tank for optimum growth. I am currently running 4xt5 (2 daylight, 2 actinic)

The frags i picked up are

Sunny D's
Blue Hornets
Red Hornets
Captain Americas
Mind Blowing Palys

I want to get them the best color and growth. Thank you in advance.

what size tank, more importantly how tall of a tank and what wattage T5's? Zoas are not high light corals but it all depends on what your setup is.

 

[eugene2009]

Standard 55 gallon. Got it for a zoa only tank. 48" x 13" x 21" i got 4 54w giesemann bulbs. what do you think

this is only base on my observation and what I am doing, I usually place newly acquired zoas at the sand, if after a few days their bodies extend then that's the time i tried placing them in a higher position.

What he said, place them on the sand then slowly start moving them up to were ever you want to place them, if the shrivel up or start to bleach out then move them back down a bit.
