    I just recieved my long awaited mother of pearl and a couple of others from Wet Thumb Frags. Everyone looks good and happy. Placed them in the tank after my overkill series of dips (paranoid of STD's).  I place them in locations I like based on asthetics, assume I have enough flow and light and pray for the best. As many of you know, I am very new, my tank is about 6 months old right now, so it is young. I have 6 or so SPS frags recenlty bought from JB and a couple of online places, 6 ACANS and a handfull of fish. (side note-tangs died).
    My question to all of you is this, how do I know if they like the location or not? Will they tolerate being moved around once they start looking poor or will that cause more stress? Thanks.

    Thats awesome!

    Pics?

    And to answer your question, they will let you know if they are happy or not. When/if you move them around do it slowly. Lots of times they will adjust to your conditions, they just need time.

    If indoubt, start them lower in the tank & move them up. not enough light is way less stressfull then too much light. Too much too soon can kill them in a day.

    Good luck

    Craig-I can't take pictures since I have no camera. I know. I plan to buy something soon. I will take note of your advice and glue them lower in the tank. Right now the AI's are only peaking at 55w 65b 65rb and I was waiting on these frags to start ramping up. What are you guys running the AI's on the SPS tanks at.

    I run my AI's at about those same rates. I had them at 75, and I liked the look, but my corals are doing better at the lower rates.
