with mh, definitely place it low with low or medium flow. feeding it 2-3x per week.

Mine are place on the sand bed in very little flow.

Mine is mid tank, or slightly above. This is not by choice, since I believe it would prefer to be a bit lower, but it is large and growing fast so I needed to place it higher where I had room. Mine is under a 150 watt coralife 10000 K bulb, with pc actinic light also. I try to aim the flow away from it as much as possible. The 2x3 time per week feeding seems about right. It currently has 11 mature heads ( half dollar size face ) with inch plus long tentacles. It also has 30 or more immature heads starting.
They seem to be very hardy.

Thanks for the replies.I will put at bottom.I went with the 150 watt,20000 for the bta i just got.I had 14000 mh and it was time to replace bulb,so i thought i would go bigger.I do not know if i should of or not.I thought it would be better for bta.Thanks all for info.

I would place it at the bottom. Make sure to keep a close eye on that bta until it stops moving. It will kill anything in its way.
