i have a aquatic life dual fixture with one blue actics and one 10k bulb
and the zoe was placed in the middle of my tank

Died how? Did they melt? Zoas like consistency. I don't think your light is too much at all, in fact i'd get better lighting. I have mine blasted under 28 3w LEDs and high placement. I get growth and color. Parameters is huge too.

i think you have a creature lurking your tank. did you dip the zoas?

 

[ericmcginn5]

no i didnt dip the zoes so you think something ate them all i have in it right now is 2 clown fish and a royal gramme. what if i hook up my old 24 inch corallife t5 dual lamp fixture that has one acticnic light and one 10k. its not high output. with 14 watts per bulb.
with my aqatic life 30 inch 24 watts per bulb with one actinic bulb and one 10k. high output. and indiviswl reflectors.

will this work for my xenia zoes my frogspawn kenya tree, mushrooms, and a torch coral, and ricordia

I would go with a light at night and see if anything is crawling on them.
