placement of montipora capricornus

Hi guys...i just got a nice frag of red montipora capricornus from my buddy? I was wondering where i should place this beauty in my 90 gallon....My lighting is listed below? where do you think? would middle be ok or should I go higher? thanks

 

i think initially half way should be a good start. go from there in regards to how it reacts to whether its enough light. it should be

 

Mid to upper region. I don't think you will light shock it with those lights.

 

see i have had him in my tank upper part for about 2 weeks now and it is starting to turn white....my calcium levels are good at around 400 so i duno if i need to move him down or i just dont have the luck to keep one

 

what about your other params, 400 is also on the lower side of acceptable calcium

 

400 is fine, not your ca. Do you still have polyps on him???? You may have bleached him a bit. What about your buddies lights. What does he/she have?

 

this is purely an educational question daniel , but as i said, is 400 the lower levels of calcium? im learning too, so its for my knowledge also the reason im asking that. theres nothing confrontational behind me asking, thank you

 

i duno its hard to tell he is about 40% white and 60% red still...i know the cal levels are ok bc thats what he kelt his around 430ish i have 0 nitrates and 0 everything else salinity is 1.025...i have moved him down hope that works...he was running halides thats why i am questioning bleaching since they are stronger then my t5s

 

400 ppm is near the higher end

 

NONONONO I didn't mean anything like that at all. Believe me. I wasn't being a jerk in the least bit. It's just that you don't hear tone or see body language on here. Calcium in the range of 350 to 450 is acceptable from what I have read in the past when studies have been done. (I'll go google if you like but we can all do that so I don't know the exact names and dates) Anything above 350 or so the corals can't use anyway if this makes any sense. It's sorta like putting a whole pizza in front of a person. (normal person) It's there, and there's a lot of it, but we can only eat so much of that pizza.
