What's the diamension of your tank?

What kind of light u using?

What type of filtration system?

[starfish123]

have no tank yet, but just planning my LS list

[kenny1111]

good to have. some other have try without. depending on what is the result u wanted? Just to keep it alive or bring out it's best colour?

[starfish123]

of course bring out its best colour... but if cannot than can stick to just the original colour. by the way, are aquarium fans good for keeping the temp down?

[finind]

use fan water evaporation quite a bit

for my small 45L tank, evaporate around 300ml a day

after getting chiller ... no need to busy add water daily

anxiously waiting to see my electrical bill for this month

[starfish123]

i actually want to keep zoas without chillers as have no money. is it possible to keep them if i use a aquarium fan?how many degrees will an aquarium fan bring the temp down?

Well my friend. u have already answer your own Qns.

U already decide not have have a chiller for your zoa/tank.

well, i have try and bring down my 1ft tank to 27 with fan on cool day/night, 28-29 on normal day. Top up with 500ml or more daily.

Colour of zoa depent on lot of factor like light(increase heat to tank), NO3&PO4 in the water, Pest in the tank, Placement of coral.

Maybe you can try to find some zoa info under the soft coral topic. a lot of good advise from the zoa pro, or get help from the zoa doctor(some of us know who he is )
