I had 4 80mm fans cooling it off and then cut down to 3 now the tank has moved to the dinning room and I only have the one 96w on it. I wass stuck with about 3 inches above the tank so PC was the only thing i could use but now with the tank moved I'm going to start rounding up parts for a MH setup Link to comment
bladze Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Dose iodine or lugol will help growing zoo Link to comment
MiniReefin Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 You dont have MH? Thats some of your prob., since i set up the MH, the growth is fenominal. Like double. I had 80w of PC in the Cube hood, now i have a 150w Medic. Link to comment

Like double. I had 80w of PC in the Cube hood, now i have a 150w Medic. i know PC just isn't the same as MH, but that is the least of my worries right now, with having to move everything into a new tank cause the other one started to leak. I should just stick the rock with a few zoo's in my 40 under the 400w until its covered and then bring it back to the 10 Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 How come someone has to say iodine without mentioning test kits? Link to comment
RoOk_Reef Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 make sure you have room on the rock for the zoos to spread out on, or they will overcrowd and will only get bigger instead of multiplying....*my theory* is that they get bigger and longer to reach the light or they will die from being trapped under other polyps that are larger. One of my zoo colonies has dime size polyps no more room on the rock to grow any more polyps Link to comment
JsL Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Are you moving the colony a lot? I've notice the most growth happens when you leave things alone. Yeah, Halides make a hugh difference in growth. How did you fit 96w powerquad + a nova t5 actinic, plus a 15 watt NO actinic and a 15 watt NO 20000k over a 10 gallon? Link to comment
