zoas in a 45 gallon

Thinking of adding a 5 piece zoa frag pack to my 45 gallon reef tank.

Is this a good idea?

Go for it! As long as you have enough lighting and run a skimmer you will be fine IMO. Skimmer is optional I have kept them w/o.

I have a Compact Fluerescent lighting fixture and I've been told that I can have most corals. As for a skimmer I am running a CPR Bak Pak 2 SKimmer and a 10 gallon refugiumwith live rock, live sand and chaeto

Good deal?

It really depends. What are they? How big are the frags?

Do you like the colors?

The frags in the link are nice zoanthids. They are some of my favs.

The usps shipping is usually around $25. So that leaves $40 for the frags.
It looked like the biggest frag was the eagle eyes. I'd pay $10 for it and $5-$6 for the rest.
When you add in the shipping cost, it seems expensive.
You should be able to find all of those color morfs at your local store, without having to pay for shipping. They are fairly common.


This is just my opinion.
