setting up a zoa nano what lights?

[Randy-s]

So I have a 200 gallon sps tank and i was thing of setting up a zoa nano tank too. It seems most nanos have CPF that I am not a fan of so if you were doing a nano tank say a 12 or 15 gallons for zoas how would you light it?

My 14g nano has a 70w 20k Ushio DE

+1 just get a 70 or 150w halide in 14 or 20k, depending on the tank depth.

In the 12 to 15 gallon range I'd look for a 150watt mh, something like the Sunpod.
I happen to like the 20k bulbs for zoanthids.

LEDs definitely. Check down a few threads

LEDs... I just swapped from 150W Sunpod + T5 actinics on my aquapod 24 to a 90W LED fixture and love it!

t5 if its a long tank.

HQI/HM if you can cover the spread.

I had a jbj viper 2 150w 20k mh clip on with excellent results over my 12g nano

And as you already know it is 80 percent zoas and the rest is ric's
