milli placement...were do you put it?....

[mikid]

just was wondering as to what height in the tank do you place your millis for the best color,growth, etc......

 

[chrisv]

they can be baked.

 

[secrest]

I've always put mine in the top third of the tank. Color has always been great.

top 1/3 of tank,thats what i was thinking,it was grown out at a aqua farm,the store displayed it at 2 inches below surface,2ft under lights for a week,dont want to bake it either.....its a bright blue milli(looks like palmers)....

Lots of light and flow works best for me.

 

[Borchers]

I put mine high with crazy flow. Granted mine are under T-5'S Geissman Bulbs.

 

[blakers82]

Good flow and good light and they will shoot right out.

Quoted from another recent thread.

For those who may be interested in what the coral likes rather than it's price.

From; "Corals' of World",Jen Vernon; Vol 1 pg 340:

" Acropora millepora ( Ehrenberg 1834) : .... Habitat: Shallow water usually reef flats, but also lagoons and upper reef slopes.....

In other words , this coral lives in high light in nature.

Acclimate them from the light if you havent yet. Keep low and move up after a week to see where is best.

Also from the tank they came from what kind of light did the tank have? What kind of light do you have?

But yes I agree top 1/3rd of the tank works best.
