zoa positioning

[dplaskett]

Hi,
I have lots of frags that I have picked up over the last 3 years. I want to start glueing down the frags to my rockwork before I let the urchins into the new tank I set up. I have many different zoa colors. Does anyone have lots of experience with zoas and know where to put certain colors (high/ mid/low lights/flow)???

Thanks,
Dave

I think it really depends on the individual zoa.....some seem to like lots of light and others need to be shaded.....you could probably take where you have the frags now as a good starting point and try to place the frags in the new setup roughly where they were in the old setup......of course flow will also effect how happy some zoas are....so it may take a bit of experimenting:wink:....

some are never happy no matter what light you put them in. Usualy a safe place to start is very very low light, then move toward the light slowly and see if it get better or worse.

Gotta love the zoa's completely addicting all with individual personalities and requirements , overall it's trial and error with everything . Call me crazy but it seems like the more zoa's I have in my tank the better they do:)
