Help me pick out my 1st Zoe

[RONCGIZMO]

Thanks, I wan't to add my first one monday my tank is ready and so am I..
it's a 20L tank with two 50/50 65 watt light (10,000k and a 460 blue)

I want something easy to care for and fast growing. I'm looking to get one of the 3 here... what do you think? (only a frag 10~15)

1, 2 or 3?

 

[edwing206]

I would go with the first ones, they are very nice.
BTW. Welcome to Reef Frontiers!

The middle ones, are called Eagle Eyes, are some of my favorites.

Hmmm....

I pick number 2, which narrowly beats out number 1.

 

[RONCGIZMO]

Thanks all for the welcome...I was leaning on 1 and 2 myself...lol do you know about how fast they grow and a goos diet for them and how much flow something like this needs? also are they all the same? (flow, light, growth, food, ect.) I really don't trust that many LFS as far as advice go's

Thanks,

Ron

He should have started a poll. lol

 

[RONCGIZMO]

He should have started a poll. lol

Now that would of been a good idea...lol

 

[RONCGIZMO]

Well, I was on ebay and i bought number one. The guy in 5~10 min from me and said pick up was okay, when i get to it i might just buy 2 also if he gives me the same deal...

 

[edwing206]

You might want a little more light for the tank. Another 65 watt pc would be good. What do you have for flow? And they don't need to be fed.

 

[RONCGIZMO]

For flow I'm using an AC 70 and a cascade 150 one the top I also have a 392gph pump inside the tank...oh and on the light it a 2x65 but the 2 bulbs are the same that 50/50 10,000k and 460nm

all corals need to be fed - check out Anthony Calfo's forum

I would get them all! I have some eagle eyes, but the other 2 you posted are gorgeous. Did you get the whole colony of #1 or some frags off it? I feed mine, the same as the rest of the tank, I just target feed them to make sure they get some.

 

[RONCGIZMO]

I just got back and you guessed it, I bought 1 and 2 (frags) the place is really nice you might want to check out his listings on ebay if you live in NJ you can pick up but his shipping is only about 20 bucks if you don't see anything on ebay ask, he has a lot of frag tubs and he is very easy to deal with. The ones I bought are starting to open and they were in my tank for only about 10~20 min. if you buy from him please tell him Ron from clifton sent you It might help me out when I buy more...Thanks

Well, I went back today and bought number 3 as well as some other stuff...

I like buying from this guy, every time I put his stuff in my tank it always go's well, I bought a little bit of xenia and it opened within 5 min (and started pumping) from what I was reading that don't happen all the time, his zoe's did the same thing open within 5min... Thanks for the help, take a look at his web site and let me know what you guys think I should get next, I want hardy not hard to deal with...

 

[RONCGIZMO]

Okay, I'm going back for more I want to get something on this line anyone have an idea on what's easy to take care of here?

[drummereef]

Why not get all three?

 

[RONCGIZMO]

Why not get all three?

I did

Then I went back and got some Xeina, and two types of Shrooms and some Neon Green Star Polyps...Can't wait for my next trip...Any Ideas?

 

[edwing206]

Ricordias. Yumas?

 

[RONCGIZMO]

Ricordias. Yumas?

That's funny you should say that, He just got some REALLY nice Yumas
They need to grow out just a litlle more before he cuts them...So it's on my list

Any other easy ones you can think of? What about Frogsporn? is it a PITA to keep or not? I was also thinking of a RBTA for my Clown it's starting to host the star polyps if he does that will he change hosts?

 

[edwing206]

I don't think an anemone would be a good idea under pc's. If kept high enough, the clown couls host in frogspawn like you mentioned.
