your off to the right start little buddy , told you this was prob your issue and its common for those with very low nutrients and very bright lights, at your tanks height there's alot of par at the glass bottom.

so if the other tank is for zoas only then i would thing low par lights that you can increase as things get use to it , you want sps quality water but not at the ulns range.

dip all new comers to the tank as zoas house pests very easily.

lower flow but something that is adjustable is ideal.

run gfo in a tlf reactor , no skimmer is required.

no fish are good but add a few small ones to help with tank duties.

do water changes from your sps tank is parameters arnt depleted to much.

cheers and glad they are looking up youve got quite the collection over the last while and spent alot of money so im glad you were able to figure this out

cheers

denny

Thanks for the help Denny, if I didn't talk to you on the weekend I wouldn't of swapped over to a different tank. I didn't want the zoas to suffer cause I my main focus SPS, I think it will be a lot better for them.

dedicated tanks are always a bit easier to run and not so much having to keep a different group happy , i think this will work well for you.

the only downside i see is now you have two addictions lol zoas and sps...its like the worst two to get hooked on lol

Haha, I will always be an SPS junkie, though Zoas and Acans are second on my list. The only good thing about this tank is that its small. Can't fit too much inside so I am limited for now.
