New to the hobby

[Chris1323]

hello everyone, I’m new to the hobby, and getting into learning more about zoas and having them in my tank.i have previously had a predator tank with triggers, eels, cat bandit shark, variety of lion fish, and a blue spotted ray. I have just started a 32 gal biocube. And would love some feed back on what upgrades I should do and what zoas I should start out with.

Welcome!!! What light did you get with your biocube? "You trying to grow things other than zoanthids in there as well?

 

[Whysosalty]

What light would you suggest with a biocube to enhance the shoddy lights they come with?

The basic light that it comes with in the Cora life 32 gal setup it’s not that great of a light.

Hydra 26HD, Kessil H380 both would do great

Welcome to r2r.
Radioactive dragon eyes, Mohawk, bambam , la lakers are all good starter zoas (in order)

Fire n ice, chemical romance , purple death play, vamp in a drag are some of the intermediate (after few months of adding the easy to keep zoas).

Blondes, candy apple, red hornets are some of the difficult to keep zoa, introduce them after tank is a year or more old

 

[Fudsey]

Or go with T5 if you want to save some $$ in the beginning. But remember you have to change out the T5 bulbs every so often as the light output diminishes.

How would you do the Kessil H380 with the top that comes with the biocube?

You'd have to remove the lid for really any replacement. You could look at the new Orphic strip lights. I would think 2 strips might fit inside the lid but heat could be an issue.
