depend what color u want ur zoas to be, i usually find those bleach zoos or brown zoos and put at different lighting levels

Do switch places of the zoas if u want a mixture of colours.

I use a 4 tube hopar light and Cree LED lights

Oh ya forgot to add , bleached / brown zoos can be taken from my father 's tank . hehehe

For a 1 foot cube, a PL light will be sufficient.

but how many watts PL for it ?

what about using a maxspect 60w LED....perfect size for your small tank

[yikai]

wrong section. moved to correct section.

[Emmanuel]

what about T5 lightings ?

if i'm not wrong, it is 6W or 8w x 2.. seems abit to be on the low side.

I would go for LED.

Bro, LED super expensive leh...

Bro, LED super expensive leh...

Looking at long term:

running cost over 3 yrs (changing of tubes) + electricity savings ==> LED more cost effective.

But for a 1ft cube, is there any cost savings? Because Dr Evil is suggesting he use a 60W maxspect?

But be mindful the 60W LED from maxspect is more white than blue...so the colours of your zoas may not look so nice....speaking from my personal experience..unless you request from Dr Evil to have more blue LEDs...i think he can do it, but may have extra cost.

will adding more blue antic light change the colour of the zoa???
