i have 2x96w (10k and actinic 03) and a viper 150w hqi mh on a 50g tank.70lbs of live rock and a CSS 65, tank has been cycling for about 2 months, water parameters are fine.first question, where in the tank sould i put my zoo's high low or middle of the tank?. i want to keep lps and softies, would i be able to get away with a couple of sps that i will keep high in the tank? would i be able to keep a clam? is there anything im missing?:smokin::beer:


o and the 150w MH is a 14k bulb, what would be a good combination of bulbs, i am more interested in growth but would want a little bit of blue. what should i use in the MH and the PC's

welcome to MR. i place my zoas in the lower region of my reef and they seem to do good. i do have a few in the mid level area though, and i have seen people keep them at the top of there tnak(Ronen's sweet reef tank :redface: ). remember when they grow you are going to want to be able to be able to control them. you dont want them to take over any of your other corals. as for sps.. do you know anything about keeping them? if not then maybe pick up a book or stay away from them, but to answer your question you generally keep them towards the top. i have t5s and i get growth at the middle and middle/ lower area. i cant help you out with the clam question, i know nothing about them.
