I received my Zoo's today

I finally got them. Now I just need to get home acclimate them. I can't tell anything they are all closed up for now.

How many watts/gallon do the zoo's need? Also do they need any suppliments in the water?

Zoos have minimal light needs. They are one of the easiest to keep.

I fell in love with the picture on the ORA website of some of the zoos. http://www.orafarm.com/images/zoanthid.jpg Ill have a little over 3 watts/gallon in my 23 gal. This is enough right?

I have 3.5 and I sure hope it's enought. I will be feeding plankton. I can't wait to see them open up. I'm read they are easy.

Ok looks like some really pretty colors. I can't really tell yet. Some of them are trying to open up but I'll know more when they open up fully. Any suggestions on how to attach the rocks to my rocks? They came on small pieces of rocks. Do you have to take all the rocks out and dry them to superglue them? Thanks

No, you don't have to dry all of the rocks. I use a lot of the superglue gel by Lock-Tite, let it set a second, dip it in the water to form a skim, wait another couple seconds, then place it in the aquarium wherever I want it to glue to. Has worked for me for rock to rock. Coral I do outside the tank and I make sure the rock that I am attaching too is fairly dry.

Zoos require minimal lighting. Anything over 2 wpg should me fine.

You can superglue the rock to another or use some of the putty that most LFS sell. It works well with attaching rocks to rocks.

Super glue gel works best if the rock is dry though.

Ok sounds like good advise here. Thank you. I will call my LRS and see what he has. My sea urchin is plowing over the poor things.
