I just got a 3 head dendro, and a 2 head duncan. What kind of flow would these do best in? Right now they are in a fairly high flow area, i can see the tentacles of the Duncan whipping around pretty good in the cirrent, the Dendros are in a little less flow.
I have 4x39watt T5 over my 40 breeder and right now i have them in the sand, would they do better in more light, right now both of them are looking well, but i would like some tips on where to put them.

I don't know about flow, I just put mine where they look happy(both dendro and duncan) Dendros do not require any light. They need to be fed somehow because they are non-photosynthetic(sp) HTH

I put mine in low flow and feed them they will grow much quicker

I have my duncans in some very weak lighting and they are not very bright in color but I do feed them on regular occasion and they appear happy.

I keep mine with T5 and MH, but not directly under the lights. From my experience, they need mid flow and I not really feed them. They are growing fast and open all the time.
