    Searched quite a bit here, if someone knows of a thread here that addresses this, maybe you could link it for me. But I just got a ricordea blue and orange, I'm not really sure what intensity of light and flow it will like best. I have a 75g, two 150w 14k MH, two Koralia 3 PHs, two return pipes create a lot of surface aggitation and flow. Here's a pic. Thanks!

    I keep all my mushrooms towards the bottom, including the Florida rics. One of my most colorful Florida rics is about an inch above the sand bed in a low flow area.

    Thanks so much! I plan on adding more mushrooms and your answer to my question helps a lot.
