get some hornets! I got some blue tubbs, Radioactive Dragon Eyes, Orange Bam Bams and thats it,,,,soo far for my stocking. Look for zoas that POP it make your tank look really attractive.

Cadlights 22g, or even 39g AIO would be sick for that.

It you're doing all zoos definitely incorporate blue LED's into the lighting. The colors POP!

t5 lighting really makes them stand out in either a 24 gal AP or Nano or even a Solana from what ive seen

I have the solana and compared to the 22 cadlight I would go with the cadlight. Solana is too tall in my opinion for a zoa tank, an with the 22 cadlight with the t-5 hood your all set. :lol2:

I have a 12g Aquapod zoanthid only with a 150w Ushio 20k...quite a sight to be seen...
well was...

after a 2 day power outage, the tank is struggling, we'll see what colonies bounce back

A dated picture, with Pheonix 14k but you get the picture

strong actinic supplements, and careful aquascaping makes for a stunning zoanthid display, and in turn you can create
a full, mature looking tank


A tank isn't the focus, its the inhabitants, and how they are displayed.
The smaller tank volume, compliments the corals, making complete coverage a little easier, and zoanthids arn't the type that look too big for a tank. Unlike Large overgrown leathers, anemonies, or sps colonies, that can make a tank look small.
