Defining placement terms

[spacetime]

Hello,

I currently have a 15g 24x12x12 tank with 4 bulb T5.

I am wondering what the terms high, or medium placement relate to actual depth below the water, rather than just general specifications as High is quite different in a 24" deep tank as compared to a 12" deep tank.

I currently have 2 tabling tri color acropora frags recovering from stripping the water clean with too much GFO. I am re acclimating them to my lighting and they seem to be gaining color back. However I have them very high up and in such a small tank I fear that their tabling nature will starve out or prevent me from placing multiple acro frags around the tank, and thus I would like to place them approx 4" above the sand bed or approx 7-8" below the waters surface. Since I am re acclimating all my corals I would prefer to have their next placement to be permanent.

I would not touch stressed out frags. You will create more stress/sliming possible RTN. Just leave them be. For future frags, glue them to a small rock so if you have to move them you only touch the rock. Is there any natural live rock in your system? If not you should get a piece or two in there to speed things along.

Yeah I have some in the sump and one piece in the display. I have no issues with nutrients, its quite the opposite that the system is too clean. But your advice makes sense, I'll leave them be and stop messing with the tank.
