    Where would the best place to be to place a chalice in a tank? My tank is 75g with 4 54w T5 bulbs. I was think it would do okay in the middle of the tank towards the bottom but I just wanted to be sure before I glued it down.

    They do best when mounted middle to low and even partially shaded under overhangs. They also seem to grow faster when mounted at a 45 degree or more angle to the light. Not sure why, just know it works haha.
