rbaby Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 What colors of zoos and mushrooms are considered rare? I have very limited space and i want to try to invest in zoos that would make my tank much prettier and not so simple-looking...this includes mushrooms and whatever else my 48 watt 50/50 can hold.

BKtomodachi Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 What size tank? Just for the reference, "investment zoos" are often: -true blues -baby blues -PPE's -anything else very vibrant and not commonly seen, like pure oranges, etc. HTH Link to comment
rbaby Posted January 1, 2005 Author Share Posted January 1, 2005 12 gallon I see...yeah, since the corals I can keep in my tank aren't as colorful as the expert corals, I'd like to have as many colorful ones as I can have lol Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Colorful zoos wouldnt look to great with only 4 watts per gallon, IMO. Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Most of your brightly colored zoos require strong lighting. Preferably halide or VHO. Link to comment
JovReef Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Not true at all SaltyDawg, I have many rare zoos that look better than most vho's or MH's. and I've stayed with PC's for 4 years. Link to comment
JovReef Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 My rares in "PC only" lighting. Bright reds Link to comment

davinaster Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Quick newbie question - what are PPEs? Other than perhaps non-existent? Thanks! Link to comment
JovReef Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 PPE's are Purple People Eaters. They are a palyathoa. Very sought after. Link to comment
audiocontrol Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 does it fly and have one eye and one horn as well? lol Link to comment
davinaster Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Originally posted by JovReef PPE's are Purple People Eaters. They are a palyathoa. Very sought after. I guessed Purple and I guessed palyathoa. As for "Purple People Eater", I can't decide whether to believe you or whether you're pulling my leg :-( Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Yes but you never mentioned how many watts you have or what size your tank is. I never said they MUST HAVE VHO or Halide only that is was preferable. Link to comment
JovReef Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Ahh...wattage... well I've upgraded and downgraded a few times in 4 years. but I had 2 65 watt pcs over my first tank (a 20gal) and 2 96watt pc's over my 46 blowfront. On my desk nano I have 2 13 watt's. My softies look better than my friends with MH's. My other friend grew some VERY VERY impressive bright purple, blue, orange, green, and combo acros in his 65 with 4 96 watt pc's I think his has been running for 5 or 7 years now...I dont remember, and you should see the growth also! The only thing I've noticed that the corals do different when under PC's is they will grow different thicknesses. His birds nests are thicker than a friends frag under MH's. His M capricornis are thinner. The digitata grow more out than up. stuff like that. Link to comment
JovReef Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Oh and the desk nano, I just put the second bulb in because I'm upgrading to (I think) a 7 gal next week. Its been running on 1 light since september. Link to comment
