    Just added a Birds nest frag to my tank today. I'm really excited about it as i've wanted one for quite some time. I did my due diligence and selected a really nice spot center of the tank, about 1/4 of the way down. It's jetting out of the side of a hole in my LR. It's like that hole was made for the plug.
    Like i said it's mostly in the middle of the tank so my Koralia #4 isn't hitting it with too much current, i don't think. I hear they don't really like heavy current. I know they like intense light, so my MH's should be great for it.
    I've got a Kalkwasser so that should have it pretty happy, also.

    Any idea how fast these guys grow?

    They can grow very fast. But can also turn and die equally as quick.

    Good luck.
