    With t5's your gonna be looking for higher placement. Higher flow while not blasting it too.

    Congrats, high flow and with T5HO you should be able to place it where ever you want IME. I have my green tip too high and it is mostly white. Growing well though. I would say start it mid level and see how it does.

    I have it at about 3-4 inches above mid level, and steady flow from afar...looking great so far.

    Got it from a friend from my local reef club. He was having to make room for some new stuff, and sold it to me for $10! but I also got a few other things at the same time, so it was a package deal;D

    OMG! I will have to thank him again! I had no idea they were that much. That ORA name really can increase the price.

    Hard to tell the size...but it looks like a nice mini-colony...good color and very well encrusted...I would say $10 is a steal!

    As for lighting, I find lots of people underestimate good T5's...I have bleached many a coral under my T5's...I even had to reconfigure them over my shallow holding/grow out tanks because they were to intense for most corals...I would say mid level is a good start and move up/down from there as needed.
