Squamosa lighting

I read the article at the top of this archive but this is more of a judgement call I am asking. I currently have two derasa's on the sandbed...both are bigger than 4 in and they have been growing and doing well under my lighting. Lighting is 2x150W 14K halides with 4x39W 420nm actinics. I understand that squamosa's have similar lighting needs to derasas, my squamosa is coming on Tuesday. Should I just place it on the sandbed, which is 24" from the bulbs, or should I place it higher up in the rockwork? BTW I have maximas 15" from the bulbs that are thriving.
