Hello,
just joined Club-Zoa as i am in the process of planning a 30 gallon zoanthid only tank (which will also contain a few ricordia florida as well).
The only thing that i am unsure about is the type of lighting, given that the tank is only 30 gallon (19" x 19" x 25") which would be the best a 150W metal halide or a 250W.
I want the zoanthids to grow well and also to look their best, but i am also concerned about heat issues.
As for the type of lamp, i was thinking of starting of with a 14K and then probably trying a 20K at a later date, any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated,
cheers,
Pete.
