I just glued down my hammer and frogspawn and I am kinda second guessing the placement. I have them mid level they will be getting more light. And they are in a mid to high flow zone should I move them? Ignore the salty glass I just got done doing stuff in the tank.

I’ve found that my hammers, torches, and frogspawn tend to do best pretty high in the tank and in medium flow. As long as you have good lights, you should be fine!

I'm upgrading to an ai prime in like 2 days I'm using a crap black box
 
Does the video load I can get it to work if I download
It is not loading. But AI lights are awesome. I run 2 AI Hydra 26HDs on my 57 and love them. You should be pleased with the Prime! The ease of use with the myAI app is top notch

If you click download you can view the video. Should I know in the morning if it is too much flow? Or does that show over time

I’m on mobile and I can’t figure out how to download lol. Give it a day or so and see if everything is happy. If it is, great! If not, you can move it around

It's a pain.. but this morning my two little euphyllia are looking happy

I like to start off most euphyllia at the bottom and see how they respond, and adjust placement from there until it seems happiest, with moderate/turbulent flow. Mine have never done well in high par/flow. Torches are another story, I struggle with those!

If anyone was able to get the video to load does the flow look good in it?
 
Start low or on bottom and bring up gradually. Make sure lights not too white/bright and moderate water flow
