I keep mine in the open but low in my 120 gal tank, med flow. I run 2 / 120watt leds for lighting.

I had mine in the open about 18" under 4x54 T5s for a while, and it did fine. However, it's started to look much better and grown a bunch since I've moved it to the shade. I personally think this piece prefers low light, but it's very hardy (and a good grower) so move it around if you like.

I have mine very low. Almost on the sand.
