Anyone have an ID on these Zoas?

 

Are those sunny d palys?

 

Just read over the thread. Looking good. I think that I saw a bright yellow acan, it was very pretty... I really like the power strip too lol. Fits perfectly and will make the wires look much cleaner in the stand. IMO keep your skimmer clean if you want it to continue to work. I wouldn't clean the inside body too much so you don't have to keep breaking in the skimmer but everything else needs a good cleaning every week or two. IM doesn't make the most durable equipment.

 

I didn't buy them under any specific name but after googleing some images it look like you are right

Thank you very much . Yea that tricolor acan echinata is one of my favorites and is growing great. I have so far had no issues with the skimmer it has run great for me.

 

So how do you like the AI fixture? You did a nice job of mounting it.

Corals look excellent, it's a good looking tank.

 

I like it a lot!

Nice and clean

 

Thank you coralline I appreciate the kind words

So far I love the fixture. The controllability and color options are awesome. At there peak I run my whites at 20%, blues at 27% and Royal Blues at 28%. So far all of my coral have been coloring up fantastically.

How are you liking you hydra?

 

Thank you Chris

That's what I was shooting for. I can't wait until this thing is stuffed with sticks and acans

 

Working it out. I really like a lot of aspects of the fixture, it's just a huge learning curve. They say the trick is to not change intensity often, let corals acclimate. I am running it at low intensities and still trying to get the color I want in the corals. Images are hard, the tank looks stunning under the light but not in images, so if I can get the coloration and learn how to image under LED I will be a little more satisfied.
