Placement of zoos / shrooms by color?


Is there a general rule of thumb about placing zoos and shrooms (or rics)higher or lower according to what color they are? Should I place those closer to blue/ green further down and the reds/ oranges closer to the lights?

(I'm running 130 watt PCs on a 20 high so nobody's gonna fry.)

I have a blue/green ric that's about 3" higher than its orange counterpart. The orange has gotten about 5" across but refuses to split (although it's folded) whereas the b/g has just split off a new one and it looks like another is coming. I have a 4-mouthed tangerine (THANK YOU FLY-GUY!) mounted about 1" lower than the b/g that appears to be getting ready to reproduce.

I have some Spiderman zoos (blue) and was wondering if they would spread faster at a lower depth. Same question for Palys.

Many months ago I read an article that said that most pinks and some pale blue zoas do better with more light. I'm not sure how accurate that is but I do know that some Solomon Pinks that I had definitely did better with the extra light.
