    The candycanes came from 400w halides. They bleached when I put them towards the middle of the tank. IDK, I'v tried a few Places. The may go back to the original owner. Dimensions are 20"x13"x18".

    Umm I sing to them! I don't know I use Coralife salt.. from what I read it has high Calcium and Magnesium levels. Religious weekly waterchanges of 15%! I use Rod's Food... which is hand chopped and rinsed in RO water.. it has different sized particles including those small enough for filter feeders. I've seen an explosion in my zoa growth and feather dusters since using it. I also have a lot of flow in this tank. 800 gph.. lol in a 16 gallon. I also skim, so my water quality is very good. They like my T5 lighting with ATI and a Fiji Purple bulbs. The only prob I had was some cyano growth that affect my purple zoas and my orange zoas, from a dead spot in flow. It's funny whenever I buy zoas, they open with 45 minutes of being in my tank. Idk.. a combination of good flow, water, and food...lol. As far as placement.. I give myself aneurysms deciding the best spot.. I choose spots based on visual appeal. Thanks!
