Coral stocking for a 32 gallon led biocube

[Zoa_Fanatic]

Hey reefers. I’m looking at how much coral I can keep in my biocube. I currently have three zoa colonies about 15-20 heads a piece, a really small hammer with two heads, a set of candy canes with about 7 heads, one with two heads (bad shape), a set of paly grandis (three small heads) that I just got. I’m looking at getting some zoa from a reefer on here (four total plugs) about 8 heads total. Is that too much coral in my tank? Only fish are an engineer goby (about 2’ long), and a four stripe damsel (2”). Various crabs and snails also in there.

Photos attached. Note they’re all in a 27 nanocube because my 32 cracked last week. Coralife is sending me a new one

Thanks punk. Can I fit those four zoa plugs in ya think? What should I attached them to to make a garden if you know?

 

[reefpunk707]

For sure. I'd glue em down where ya want on your rockwork. Zoas can go pretty much anywhere and adapt to hi vs low light and high vs low flow. I have a 29 gal biocube with about 25 different zoa frags and about 50 total frags.

That is cool. My rock doesn’t have many holes in it. Any idea where I can get some egg crate to create a frag rack? I’m gonna set the plugs on it until my new cube comes in.

I cut stick off the plug so its a flat circle and glue it down. Or if the corals on a rock on the plug i pop the rock off the plug and glue it down. I'd try lowes or home depot.

How do you cut the sticks off? That sounds like a good idea.

 

[reefpunk707]

I got these works pretty well

How much? LOL I wish I had the sense to ask that question. This was mine before I sold it. There is no limit, only how much are you willing to dose to make up for the consumption of the corals.

Oh and yes, that was my Tang (Tang Police Alert). I had him for 2 years and he was super happy.

Thanks so much! I really love it too. I had it made custom cause I personally hate and am bad at aquascaping so far lol. It was made by dream aquascapes. Super cool people you should look them up on insta or Google if you want a pre made or custom scape.
