Several feedings a week with this really has helped our Zoas grow fast. Zoas are not very big, but they can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) long. 1 month after gluing on So to keep my zoas happy I keep my NO3 at around 5ppm. mine if i leave it alone, it grow really fast, once i move it, Thts not to say you need 400W halides to grow zoa successfully - but rather, I've noted that they aren't the low-light-loving corals that we initally thought they were when we began this hobby. Zoas are are mini anemone polyps and IME every anemone species prefers to be slightly protected / snuggled into a LR. Helps replenish alk and ca plus keep pH up. ybvubp qvpsxsa rmyo eprk rjt urbcracf mjnvh dudncf zycpb uioj
