IME, zonthids and mushrooms grow super fast/big when you have some nutrients in the water(like No3).
I used to have 2 tanks one with a skimmer and the other has no skimmer, both were the same size with the same light which consist of 150 10k MH. The zoos and mushrooms grew super fast from few pieces to a full rock coverd with zoos and I have noticed that thier size doubled. The Zoos in the other tank with the skimmer grew but nothing compared to the skimmerless tank.
This observation was seen in lots of tanks and not only mine.Also, the skimmerless tank could not support any sps life in it.
Anyway that was based on my observations. Others may have different results.
