Zoo and Shroom Question

[cweber]

Zoos and shrooms get most of what they need through photosynthesis correct? Do they need spot feed as well?

[jojo22]

They generally don't need spot fed but they will grow and multiply faster that way.

If these are all i want to keep, do I still need 150 watts? Im confused since nobody really uses the watt per gallon rule. How many watts of T-5 would I need? I kind of would like to use these instead so i can run actinics.

[jojo22]

I would say that 100 to 150W would be ideal. You could look around there is someone on this site selling a t-5 set up with an icecap 660 and the waterproof endcaps for like 150 bux.

you can supplement the water columm as a sort of "spot feeding" with some phytofeast and stuff like that. I feed some of my larger specemins like palythoas and they grow at incredible rates but for the most part the above is correct. I have fed my zoos cyclopeeze and they have eaten it. but they will be fine with good light and good water quality.
