Super glue gel, it is thicker and a little easier to use, I would think the zoo's probably a mid to low position with medium to high flow, and for the candy cane about same position maybe not so much flow, they can handle it though if you can't find a lower flow spot. I have some that are in some of my biggest flow areas. I am moving around 3000-3400gph in my 120- mostly sps and lps, softies are xenia, zoo's, mushrooms.

zoos do fine in lower lighting, but grow faster under direct MH. I have some in my 150, with over 700 watts of MH/T5 lighting. Some look better lower with some shade, so i leave them there, the ones that color looks the same, i have 1/2 way down ynder direct lighting. They are spreading quicker.
