Hey guys

I bought A grafted Monty From REEFAPALOOZA. I was just wondering where in the tank is good placement according to flow and light and any other requirements for tips to get this fry growing because it could be a beautiful piece. I also bought a pink lemonade sps. What are the requirements to get this piece growing as well. Thanks

What type of lighting. ? Under kessils my montis like to be about mid to upper level in tank. But not directly under kessil. I would say about 8-12 inches from center. And med/ high flow

That's exactly where I have it. I have it a little higher than half way up but it's on the back glass. I have the AI hydras. And it's in high flow.

And it's a double post because I wrote the question in the wrong topic area.

That should be fine for the cap. As for the lemonade med light and decent flow will be best for that piece.

Yes I am acclimating for sure. I have another question I bought a head of a fruit loop zoa. What's the requirements for them to grown fast and color nice? I heard low light? I want to get it right because it's only one head right now

I can grow sps and lps pretty easy. But man I can't grow Zoas or Pallay or clove polops. I have a blue symposium and it has only doubled in in size in a little over a year. So it's about the size of two frag plug. It is on the outer limits of my kessils. I had to move it because it would close up any closer to light so it's pretty much on bottom of tank as far left as I could go. I think it needs better flow. But it's attached to a rock j can't move.

That's funny. I have the same problem with growing mushrooms. I think it's because they like "dirty" water. My zoas grow preety great and I want this fruit loop to grow out mad nice so I was wondering their requirements
