let's see some zoa dominated nanos...

let's see some zoa dominated nanos... I've seen some really nice nanos with a bunch of zoas so I wanted to see if we can compile them in one thread...

I guess I'll start is off...

here's sorta a progression shot of my 12g nano that I had set up in my room, then broke it down, then set it up again in my office.. let's just say that it has been through a lot and I'm still learning a lot from it.. :)

wow... 39 views and nobody else has a zoa dominated nano?!? thought I saw some beautiful ones a while back...

I used to have one--kinda.

It was a 12 gallon nano cube with probably 10-15 zoo colonies. I modded the lights up to 48 watts of PC, but it still didn't look that nice or get good growth.

I think a zoo tank with a small halide or high watt PC is sweet.

Someday I will try and do it again.

What are you running for lights?

OK, lousy pic and the zoas have now covered 80% of the rock but here goes,

I have seen Agu's tank. Not only have they covered the rock but they cover the back where the flash is.

very nice Agu...

can you provide us with a little more specs of your nano?

Marvin

[Agu]

It's pretty basic,

10 gallon glass tank
Coralife 96 watt powerquad light
Aquaclear 300 filled with rock rubble
Rio 90 powerhead (about 80gph)
About 7# live rock

Do a gallon waterchange once a week, clean the glass with a magnet, and feed the two black ocellaris twice a day (Yeah I feed a lot).

It's a simple and trouble free tank that's been up 3 1/2 years.

sweet.. got the same lights on my 12g.. hope mine will be as stable as yours... also got a Rio 90 for added circulation along with the stock one..
