Adding Zoanthids to a sps dominated Radion lit tank

snipertwobe · Feb 6, 2015

i have a sps dominated tank. with a ricordea garden. and wonder what are any restrictions i could face adding zoa's to my tank. i run my radions at 70% 14 inches above my tank, no i don't have a par meter but i am not burning anything. i have heard placing them in the indirect light would be best? but i am looking to get some corals to fill in the void areas where growing sps becomes problematic. lower light and less color. if i can fill these areas my tank will feel more complete. thanks in advance for any information provided.

shouldn't have any problem with most ZOA place in the tank I've seen plenty tanks with zoas up high all tho they can over run and kill the acros so not the best idea but possible why not encrusting montis for filler?
