    Thanks y'all, I'm just woried about light acclimation. It was probably 2.5 to 3ft from my lfs MH light. So Idk how long to stay near the bottom of my tank. Flow will also become an issue lower in the tank...

    Keep it down for about 3 or 4 days, then move up some and repeat until you have placed where you want.
