Proper way to keep chalice

I have two tanks
33 gallon tank with a single 40 watt PC bulb
120 tank with a 6 bulb 54 watt Tek elite
The 33 gallon will have the H&S 90-1000 skimmer up and running, lighting will be upgraded not sure which way I want to go. I have a 175 MH setup laying around. Thinking about getting a PFO dual 65 watt PC light or going LED.
My 120 has a I-Tech 200 skimmer with Deltec Nitrae Reactor so my nitrates will be going down to 3 PPM.
Are chalice a high light coral, perfect water coral? What do you feed if anything? Thanks in advance
 
I've found most chalices to be low light, tolerant of most water conditions and able to feed themselves. That being said I have mine in low light probably around 150 par in and and sps system so the water quality is very god. If you what to feed them try an hour after lights are off, turn circulation pumps of and spot feed them with mysis or other meaty food.
 
My chalices do best in med-low light and med-low flow, and as pwoller said, they are pretty tolerant as far as water params go. I don't feed them either, and they grow great regardless.
 
Thanks everyone I bought two frags back in April Tyree Miami Hurricane and Cornbread Acid Trip. The Tyree Miami H is in the small tank and doing well already started to grow larger. the Corn Acid Trip not so well it is my big tank looks to be very shrunken so I moved him to the bottom of my tank in a little cave.
