I was gunna ask how you like that rio seio? Thinking of getting one or two this week

I didn't even notice that in the pictures... but I have one and like it a lot... I'm sure it's over rated, and not 820gph, but blows pretty good to me.

According to 02manyfish on reefcentral, the larger models of it are on a boat on there way to the US now, if you wanted to wait on a bigger one.

Thanks everyone. We sure do like the seio. It is an 820, and just about handles the entire 125. But we have so many acros started that we are going to get one more for the 125 and one for the 100. Got it through Rich and you can't beat his price.
I must admit I am so excited about the zoa tank. That is going to be my baby. Anyone have ideas on easy ways to take zoas off the existing rocks to place on other items. Will the gel glue do it you think?
And what type lighting would you suggest for them, I don't think they need halide do they?

I'm doing zoas and shrooms in my nano also. They seem to be doing well under 32w of pc. I may add another 32w for good measure.

Yes, You can glue individual polyps down with SG Gel. Depending on the zo's and the substrate it is attached to some are easier than others to seperate. One idea is to glue the propagate zo's onto something very thin so that when they grow out, the base can easily be broken into pieces making several frags. The best thing I could think of would be the coral skeleton of a dead monti cap

I wonder if you covered a rock with nylon mesh then started zo's, if later you could take of the mesh and have a sheet of zo's.......

I like the mesh idea, might just work, thanks
