low light
lace near bottom of tank or under over hangs for indirect lighitng.
low flow:very little water moation maybe just a gentle waving of polyps
medium light:depending on your light system of course, midway to lower regions of your tank
medium flow: definate movement to the polyps but not rapid current
lots of light: high up in the tank no shading, if you have weak lights try to keep them as close as possible to the surface
lots of flow: rapid water movement, constant shifting in current, unpredictable flow, surging current.
thanks ahead of time...
I wrote my answers in in red, this is all subjective to the type of lights you have of course. if you have minimal lighting such as 130W powercompacs on a 55g tank then you should consider your entire tank low light. if you have 2x250w halides on the same tank you can consider most of the tank high light except under over hangs and at the outer reaches. I hope this helps as there really is no definate answer to what is low light and what is high light.....
