Hello zoo ppl I'm looking to start a nice zoo garden in my 260gallo reef tank I've never really had any before just the odd Texas trash and such does anyone have any tips on starting a large garden from 1 or 2 plugs ?

From 1 or 2 plugs in a 260?
A whole lot of patience!

Seriously though, most Zoas and palys are pretty hardy and forgiving. And there are about 1.5 billion beautiful varieties to choose from!
As long as you keep your parameters in decent check and do regular water changes, they will grow like wildfire.
Some people also like to use coral-vite supplement.

Ok thank you for the info

No problem bud.
Also, if you are looking to get some zoas, palys and some other easy-keep corals,
May I recommend Shooter000?
He is not to far from you. (1/2hr or so? )
I have bought a bunch from him and he is super fair on prices, has a pretty good selection and has a nice healthy tank. IMO.
Hope this helps you bud.
