I am getting several new frags tomorrow and was wondering where people had good look as far as light, level, and flow placement for these. I am still new to reefs and exspecially sps, although I have several frags currently doing very well in my tank.

Tyree Jedi Mind Trick
ORA Hawkins Blue Echinata
Ruby Ridge Millepora
Tri Color Valida
ORA Bird of Paradise
Ponape Bird Nest
ORA Green Stylophora

Thanks ahead for the help.
 
Not sure of your lighting set up but to be safe, start them at the bottom unless you know if the seller had them under the same lighting.
 
I have a 65 cree led setup with 26 neutral white/cool white mixture, with 35 royal blues and 4 blues. These are over a 120g tank that is 25 inches high. They are all on dimmers. I have no optics, but the fixture is only about 6 inches above the water. It is plently bright to make an ora red planet, tyree pink lemonade, blue cali tort, etc happy which are located about 1/3 ( 8 to 9 inches below the surface0 of the way down from the top of the tank. The lights are strong enough that they started mildly bleeching some candycane lps that I had on the sand and the bottom. Hope that helps.
