What kind of water flow do they like?

My tank is a 30 gallon breeder. (36" L x 18"W x 14" D)

This is going to be a Zoa & Paly only prop tank.

How many gallons of water per hour should I be moving?

Thanks again,
Steve

There really isn't a set gph for zoas. You just need to make sure that they get some random constant flow. IME the more flow you have, the longer the skirts grow. I used a Seio 820 and my return was a mag9.5 on my 29gal tank and my zoas grew great. Maybe something like a couple med flow MJmods work work well too, or opposing Seio 620s. Do you have a sump? Whats your return pump?
