blue acros---where to place?

[Sk8r]

I have a blue tenuis and a blue something-that's-too-small-to-id that came in browned considerably. I have a 20" depth on a 52 gallon corner with 250 mh.

Advice on placement? Currently they're both on the bottom in the theory that blues might like less light and at least it would do no immediate damage.

I would start them out lower with good flow and then move them up a few inches every couple of weeks until you find their sweet spot. Just make sure wherever you put them that they are getting good flow.

Where did you get them. I would talk to the previous person about where they hadd success. I would raise them though.,

Got them at the lfs. I said 'tenuis'. I meant 'aculeus.'... They were about 20 inches from megalights, but they weren't highly colored when I got them. So I wondered was it being so far down or being so brilliantly lit. They're tiny little frags, but putting out polyps as hard as they can, especially the aculeus, and there's blue spreading a bit, but it's very slow going. I've just never handled acroporas and while I'm getting great color on the valida and stylophora, I'm really struggling with these two. I don't know whether to place them by color or what?
