I want to start a zoanthid growout tank using a Rubbermaid 50 Gallon Stock Tank. It is 2 feet wide and 4 feet long. I plan on the pieces sitting about 4 inches below the water surface.
Does anyone have any recommendations for good lighting coverage over this sized tank? I want the corals to grow as fast as possible, but would rather not pay higher electric bills if the corals aren't benefitng from the extra light. a single 400w? 2x250w? I have heard that 6500k is the best spectrum (for zoanthids), any thoughts?
I want to grow zoanthids primarily, but want to also try ricordea and xenia.
For ricordea, would 4x4' NO's work over a similar tank?
