WHere should an echinophyllia be placed in a tank with 4x54 10k/actinic split lighting in a standard 75 with additional standard output florescent 65k/actinic split at 80 watts?

I appologize I don't understand what you mean by split lighting, is that the same as a power compact?

Anywho, I'd guess somehwere half way up the tank, and on the low-med end for flow. Check for feeder tentacles at night and give it a little cyclop eeze and brine, it'll love you for it!

It really depends on the light it was used to before, maybe it had MH or the natural sunlight, in that case a little higher may not hurt.
 
Sorry for the muddiness in writing there...the 65k/actinic split means I have those bulbs which are called "50/50"...that are supposed to put out 50%actinic and 50%65k...and in that particular fixture...there are 2 of those bulbs @40 watts each.
