Zoo Grow Out Tank

[milhouse74]

I am looking at a tank, it is an Oceanic the demensions are 22L x 12H by 18 Deep, it is just over 22 gallons. I am looking to use one for a grow out tank for Zoos. It is drilled, and I will probably use a cclosed loop, and a hang on skimmer.

Would a 70 W halide be a good bulb for this? What would you all reccomend for light and flow on this for Zoo grow out? Any other equiptment I should consider?

Thanks,
David

The 70 watt would light the tank and the zoanthids would grow, but not sure how fast they would grow. I would use a 150 watt if you want faster growth. If you already have the 70 laying around try it out for a little while see how it works.

I would reccomend more wattage.
