Default Zoa/paly - best placement help please.

So I've picked up a handful of frags that i'd like some input as to where to put them in my tank for optimum growth. I know they can be all over the place which is why I ask.

Candy apple reds
Magicians
Sunny d's
Purple hornets
Sour apples

Thanks zoa-holics!

HA. HA. HA. Thanks Steve!

So, you figure as a rule of thumb just keep them all low? That's the best success that I've had with the rest of mine, but some don't seem to want to grow. I'll likely stick with keeping them low and/or partially shaded.

Best place for them?
In my tank LoL

Bottom for the most part medium flow. I have AOG's and acouple others in the middle of my tank under 250 watt halides and there doing fine.

I'll take a frag or two when you get them to grow out. I got a guy that goes up there weekly.
