zoas in a biocube

[maxheadroom]

Is the stock lighting in a 29 gal biocube enough for zoas?

I would like to think so, im about to try with a new 29g cube. I have high halide light on my current tank and over time the zoos arent doing so hot.

Absolutely. I have one that is totally stock except for taking out the bioballs and adding a skimmer in chamber 2. The key is letting the tank mature before adding a lot of corals, but the stock pc lighting will grow zoanthids and lots of other things.

cool. i just picked up my 29 biocube last night. picked up a sr3 skimmer as well.

I have several varieties in my 14g biocube and they all look great but the growth rate seems slower than tanks with upgraded lighting!

I have the 29 gallon BioCube and the zoas are fine. Of course some do better than others but the stock tank will work. Check out my YouTube video of my biocube and you will see some zoanthids that were about 4 months in the tank at the time.

I have a nanocube, and personally I don't think the lighting is sufficient.

Therefore, I am upgrading to metal halide. Then, hopefully they will show their true colors again and multiply at a healthy rate.
