Just wondering, how many of you keep a lot of zoas with good growth in low nutrient systems? I have a mixed reef, and it runs near undetectable NO3/PO4. I just got into SPS and have a mix of LPS as well, but have a lot of zoas and palys. I want to make sure the zoas continue to grow well. I do turn down my flow and broadcast feed reef roids or ME coral food, along with a mix of chopped frozen food daily. I am running a 4 bulb t5 fixture with led supplement. I have 12-13 mostly small-medium sized fish in a total of 180g.

With that feeding schedule I'm certain you'll be fine.
