Frag placement

[Oceanavekid]

About to glue a few frags down

Anyone have recommendations on good placement for
Acans
Chalice
Torch
Monti
Frog & hammer
Toadstool & devils hand

Going to keep the torch/frogspawn/hammer on one side of the tank and the rest on the other

Torch has three heads and long tentacles

I recommend not gluing anything down until you know they will be happy...

Flow and lighting have a lot to do with placement.

That said; lighting-wise, in my 220 (30" deep), I would put all these in the bottom 1/3 of the tank, aside from the montiporas which I have on the 2/3 range. My lights are cranked up (black box LED) for acros and other SPS in the top 1/3.

So basically, can you shed some *cough* light on your current flow and lighting for your tank? It would be helpful to know what you have before recommending where to put things...

Generally speaking :
Acans: medium to low light and flow
Chalice: low light, low flow, can have strong and large sweepers at night so be careful
Torch: medium light, medium to high indirect flow, don't let it touch other corals
Monti: high light high flow
Frog and hammer: medium light and flow
Leathers: high flow, usually high light but these corals are very tolerant and flexible

Hope this helps
