Unfortunately, I do not have a par meter. I’m basing my decision on how well my green slimmer is doing at the top third of the tank. I’m assuming this Acropora is also a high demand (par) coralGenerally, sure. But unless you have par mapped your tank you are blindly guessing as to the optimal spot.
Not sure where you are, but a lot of LFS rent PAR meters. One of my local stores rents them for $35 and you get to keep it 3 days, but they're also not really fussy about the return date, you can call and extend for free as long as there's no demand for it (typically not). Last time I rented it I kept it a week and mapped a few friends tanks with it.Unfortunately, I do not have a par meter.

Interesting. Was not aware of this. If I can locate a meter what is the recommended par for this particular acros or are all acros essentially the same -- High Light, high flow?Not sure where you are, but a lot of LFS rent PAR meters.

Like @Cell said, not all the same. I mean, sure, if you want to use broad terminology like "High Light" and "High Flow," then most Acros fit this bill. But it's important to remember that "High" not only means different things to different people (Some say it's anything above 250, some say it's anything above 350, etc), it's a wide range, so some Acro prefer lower-end of high, while others will take as much light as you could throw at them.Interesting.

That being said, since it's a UniqueCorals Signature coral, you may want to start there and contact @uniquecorals directly, they will have the best information for that particular frag from their mother colony.
