As far as lighting goes, I don't think they need real strong lighting, mine was at the bottom of 260 watts of PC.
Going to talk to hubby today about moving them down for awhile to see if i can try that again. Might take some tinkering wiht the wave today first.

Moved them today actually. To the sand. That made an empty space two actually so you know what that means....yup bought some new ones and they should be shipped soon. Can't wait. Do you think that one will flatten back out? I hope so. It still eats and has great coloring so i am hoping they will adapt well down on the sand. With that tunzi wave machine its really nice because its one unit and isnt going to over heat my tank. There was an adjustment on the brain box so i did turn it down a bit. Nothing major but i might move it back a bit to help it to not move so much sand. Another plus is no dead spots with that baby.. not to mention only one pump to look. Thanks for the advice on the plates. Anything to help them adapt? Have a great week!

Do you have your live rock leaning up against the glass on the back of the tank..If so is that OK to do.. I have a 75gallon also and have about 40lbs of rock in it so far and I am having fun trying to get the pieces to stay were I put them..

No actually i only have a few peices leaning against the back. Most of it is like a backwards C.... so there is a cavern on the back side with full swimming range back there. Only about four peices of rock are sitting against the glass. not like i am going to clean the glass back there. thats what my cleaner crew is for. I used apoxy to get rocks to stay where i wanted. Good luck and post some pictures!!! Have a great night
