My lighting consists of one 250w DE MH, 14k Pheonix bulb PFO Ballast and two 36w Helios T5 Actinics. the Ric Garden is off to the right of the MH about 8".
I have quite a bit of flow in my tank alternating back and forth through a modified SCWD. I would say the area the rics are in to be medium flow about every 7 seconds.
I think every tank has a "Sweet Spot" for growing Rics, you just have to play around until you find it. This was my 4 move looking for it. If I had'nt had a couple of frags drop into the rockwork, forcing mr to rescape things, I might not have found it.
