Very nice! So you attribute this new growth to the bulbs? They really have opened up!  | |

These zoa's are located on opposite side of tank from MH, on my "reduced light" side.
Sorry, don't have light meter to tell you how much light they are really getting.
All the zoa's doing better in indirect MH light then those right under MH's.
