Show Me Pics of Your Zoo-Covered Tank
I'm setting up a 90g tank, and I'd love to have a tank dominated by zoanthids...

Show me some pics of your zoo-dominated tank!

AWESOME TANK!

Is that your 80g? Are you using 4x54w T5's?

I plan to use 2x250w 10k and 4x54w T5 over my 90g

Cool - what ballast are you using? I was thinking about a Fulham Workhorse 7. You can buy one under $40 and they (Fulham) reccommend it to run 4x54 T5 HO lamps.

dc_909..
what's the dimensions on your 80g? Also, do you (or anyone else reading this) ever run into different types or colors of zoos that attack/defend like some lps?

My 80 is standard 48x18x21

My zoas only grow over one-another.

I am using the Accustart Ballasts from ReefGeek

Mine's getting there. Only 5 more feet to go for the whole bottom to be covered. This is the new ZB (zoa bottom), not BB method, to reefing.

LOL - I've never seen that before! That's cool...

Let me know if you want to part with any of those little guys. I'd make a good home for some of them.

Probably about 8 months. It's spreads more every day.
