Zoos

Well i just purchased a frag of zoo's from my LFS, and its been 3 days since I put them in the 46g tank.
My levels are all within check 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate, 0 amon, 1.024 salinity, although my ph just dropped to 7.4, so I put some marine PH buffer in to help raise it. I'm also running a coralife HOB skimmer.
At this point they are starting to turn a bright green at the tips, however they haven't decided to come out just yet. I'm thinking that maybe its just them getting used to my lighting. I have two 55w bulbs, one Acintic and one a normal day light.
Sitting next to my tank I have a PC that I was thinking might be better for the lighting. It's a 115w but I'm holding off on using it until I get new bulbs.
Should I be rushing to the store to get new bulbs for my PC, and if so what would be a good combination? Should I be worried that the zoo's havent decided to come out of hiding just yet?
Thanks in advance

Give another day or two. Once they get mad and go in sometimes they dont come out for a couple of days. The PH dropping and raising may be upsetting your corals also. I sure know it makes my discus really mad lol. Try putting them in mediam water flow also. if they dont come out. but you may just want to leave them alone for a little while longer. I got some greens on monday and they just came out today.
Hope that helps.
Brad.

They are probably still adjusting from the move. Give them a couple more days and see how they look.
