Those rocks are going to be perfect for a zoanthid tank. Good choices, this is going to be a very nice tank.

Thanks. We have been considering many different "decorating" options. One idea would be a themed tank (blue, red or green) another option was getting all nice zoas and putting them in the tank based on colour groups. Or simply putting them in by deciding what looks good where at the time...

What do you guys think?

I think doing a themed color tank will really limit your choices. When doing my 10 gal nano for the contest, I first put them in where I thought they would look good, but had to rearrange if they didn't like the light or the flow.

So we got the fixture last night! Its an Aquamedic Oceanlight 4X24 T5 HO fixture. We are going to buy bulbs this week. We were thinking 2 10,00 K and 2 actinic.

Will post pics once we get the bulbs.
Would that be the best combo of bulbs for zoas?
