29 gallon standard (30"x12"x18")

i have a glass canopy with 3 compact flourescent lights with individual miro 4 reflectors. the bulbs are 65 watts each and are 1 12k, 1 420 nm actinic, and 1 50/50 12k/420 nm actinic.

i am wondering where everyone thinks i should place my purple tipped frogspawn for best extension? right now its on a frag rack next to a chalice and probably needs moved before it attacks it. for flow i can adjust my powerheads. to see what it lights but really looking for light reccomendations.

thanks for the input.

Wherever you want. They prefer mid light, mine started to retract die to too much light. Moved it down to the sandbed and it looks great.

Frogspawns like low to moderate light and low flow.

With your lights, I would place it mid way up. It could probably even tolerate being close to the top after a time.
 
thank you, now to find a midway spot where it cant kill a bunch of things lol
 
as long as its happy it will adjust to where ever you put them.

mine likes high light and decent flow all 65+ heads
