How close should a pink birdsnest be to lighting, Right now I have one under a 400W 6500k. it is about 6-7"under water and the lights are about 8" above the water. Should I move it lower or leave it. It just seems like it is not doing anything were it is
 
With a 400w 6500K you probably could put it anywhere you want in the tank. I run 250's and keep mine off to the side in the middle of the tank. It has been growing pretty well. Are you seeing good growth with other acros?
 
yeah, the growth is good, I just have one tall rock holding up my Montipora Cap that I want something nive growing on the top but that puts the birdsnest high up and it does not seem to care I just am not getting any growth or anything out of it
 
I have mine down at the bottom of my 120 under 250de's When it was up high it bleached and I lost most of the colony . The frags I saved are all low and pink. Which reminds me I need to move my atlantis BN down also as it has lightend up in the last week up high .
