And how do you have it placed in your tank? My piece is very large and thin and curves like a bowl. I cannot figure how to place it properly in my rocks.
Looking to see what others do!

I got one last week(red). Still playing around w/it. Mine seems to like low flow. Moved it up to the top w/low flow to see if thats better than the middle.

i have a baby one, its shaded (250w mh's) and in a moderate flow area, seems to like it. make sure you place it with the colorful side upwards, not facing straight out.

Why do you say place it facing up?

It does not like to have debris settle on it so it has to be on a slant so everything sloughs off

So why would you want the cup up and not facing out???

even on a slant it will grow back into a cup shape, either it will shake off debris, or you should clean it, i said face it up as a slight joke, so she doesnt put it face down.

but yes, angles are fine, but you want the pretty side getting some light on it. so dont put it straight up against the glass or anything.
