Zoa help

[rng_pw]

I have been doing a bunch of trading lately and have picked up quite a few new palys and zoas but im having better luck with some than others, so here is my question. What do your (listed below) like as far as flow and light? I have 3 400watt reeflux 12k's that are roughly a foot over the top of a 30"deep tank.
Mohawks (current spot on the sand bed in shade)
pink spec PE's (next to mohawks)
Midas golds (moved from middle of the tank with moderate flow to same as above)
prppe (mid tank with moderate to high flow
ppe (not sure come to think about itoh
magicians (mid tank moderate flow)

with the lighting that you have 3x400Watt, I honestly wouldn't put them higher than 1/2 way up the tank.

Mohawks (current spot on the sand bed in shade) 1/2 way at most
pink spec PE's (next to mohawks) same
Midas golds (moved from middle of the tank with moderate flow to same as above) same
prppe (mid tank with moderate to high flow) Low
ppe (not sure come to think about itoh Low
magicians (mid tank moderate flow) MID

Like most coral, you gotta start all of them in the bottom of the tank as you get them to acclimate to the lighting scheme of your tank. Then slowly move them up as time goes on. Your coral will tell you whether it needs more light or less light. Good to strong UN-DIRECT flow is best, not directly battering them to cause them to close up.

+1...very well answered! Every time you get a new coral acclimate them low first & adjust later like 650 said!
