Zoas

[Ninjafish40]

I have had a small cluster of zoas for months now (at least 5 months) they have not spread at all
Any ideas?
All my params are all good

It takes time for any coral to spread. I would be more interested on if they and the GSP near them have been closed up for long. If so, that would be one reason they aren't spreading and I would look into why this is the case. If it isn't a parameter issue, though posting them would be helpful, I would try a different spot with different flow and lighting.

 

[Ninjafish40]

Naa they open on a regular basis

They look like there reaching for light Try moving them up higher in the tank

 

[Ninjafish40]

There already up as high as they can get lol

 

[Grizz]

okay what kind of lights are they under? I have the same kind mine took off when i switched over to LED's also spot feeding with mysis helps

 

[Ninjafish40]

I've been spot feeding and I've had them under LEDs for all this time

 

[Spechty37]

They are defiantly reaching for light IMO

 

[Spechty37]

What kinda LEDs do you have I have the same coral and mine are all laying flat and my are spreading pretty good

 

[Ninjafish40]

Not sure if the specs I know it's got blues mixed with whites and there's 70 something of them lol
Found it on eBay

That's a real weak light! Definitly not enough for most corals!

 

[Ninjafish40]

What kinda ballpark should I be shooting for more wattage ?

 

[nelix10]

What's your tank size and what kind of coral do you want to have?

 

[Ninjafish40]

36 bow front
And just some zoas and a couple leathers a frogspawn with a duncan and some palys

 

[nelix10]

What did you pay for the light? I have a similar size tank and looking to replace my 30 watt orbit! Just not going to be enough to keep everything growing

 

[Ninjafish40]

40 ish give or take 20

 

[nelix10]

How wide is your tank? And how much do you want to spend! Lol

 

[Ninjafish40]

100$ ish
I think it's 60 ish wide I'm Layin down and too lazy to get up to measure

 

[Ninjafish40]

I also have a fluorescent light fixture that came with the tank will that be better ?
