30 Gallon Oceanic Cube (Not a Biocube) LED Build

Had not realized that this tank was now already about 6 months old!

I am definitely growing corals under LEDS. I have noticed a great number of new polyps from all the zoas in the tank. The torch coral has split two new heads and the stylo is extended as ever.

I am very ready to purchase some select Acros/anacros/millis for this tank now and see what we can do with these LEDs . . .

The first picure's zoas have more than doubled in number since their introduction into their current habitat 6 months ago. They have always been on the sand bed - over 2' from the bottom of the BoostLED PAR lamp.



The green zoas in the second picture were ones that nearly died a month or so ago - it has since stablized and has sprouted new heads - I attribute some of its rebound to the vitamin C dosing we have been doing since it showed initial decline.

 

Those are very attractive zoa's! I like em! What's the fuzzy coral?

 

Thanks!
Believe it or not - they were actually really plain looking when I had them under CF bulbs in the 14BC - within a month's time of being under the LED's they colored up and got a much more defined pattern to them. After vitamin C dosing, the tentacles started to extend and multiply noticeably.

 

The fuzzy coral is a stylophora. Also seems to love the LED light and high flow in the tank.
