ahchris Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Zoas eating nudibranchs. Pests!! Aiyo yesterday i got my first zoas and dip it with ReVive Coral Cleaner for 15 mins. Still got zoas eating nudibranchs. Gonna get them out soon. Quote Zoas Garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Koh Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Yes have to. And so not add any more Zoas for at least a month. Make sure no more of such thing and it current Zoas opens up nicely. Else got it evacuate your Zoas and let the tank be without Zoas for a month or longer. Got to starve out the population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member ASHWIN Posted November 22, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted November 22, 2014 You must have bought a infected colony..you can use revive anytime.. For now shine a torch light at night try picking them up with a tweezers pick as much as you can stop adding zoas..revive is good try shaking the coral thru the water and inspect the colony with a torch light bro..that's what I do it's better spending minutes doing this than battling pest in the future..same goes to Sps bro dip inspect for all corals will really save you A Heck of time later on Cheers!

ahchris Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi guys, need your opinion on lighting fixture. 1) Dymax Metal Halide 150W X 2 + T8 40W X 2 2) DE Lightings T5 39W X 8 I have these 2 lighting fixture but don't know which one to use. Current plans is just to keep some zoas and fishes. Quote Zoas Garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Koh Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I will go for the DE lighting T5s. Zoas and fishes wouldn't need the intensity of light that the MH light will produce. So I would take the T5 light for lesser heat produced and also lower power consumption. Honestly if in future u venture into SPS, I think your T5 will still be good enough. Else supplement it with some par38 LED will be good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahchris Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Bro, T5HO 39w is for 3ft. 80w ones is for 5ft unless u r using 2sets. Yes it is 3ft but will there be enough light since there are 8 tubes? Quote Zoas Garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Koh Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Use LED to create that effect lo. Adding a few PAR38 can achieve that le. But your wave got to create surface turbulence before that effect can be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiraltian Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yes it is 3ft but will there be enough light since there are 8 tubes? There won't be enough spread for a 3 ft t5 light fixture to cover a 5 ft tank and if u hang higher to get the spread, it won't have enough punching power into the water. I would go for at least 54w or 80w fixture. Quote Display Tank : 36" x 20" x 20" Herbie overflow box design, Sump : 36" x 21" x 17", Frag Tank : 16” x 20” x 16”, custom built by Tank Culture.
