So with my new hood I am making for my 90g tank my 2 x 250 w Iwasaki's will be mounted about 8 to 10" off the water surface with an optimal (Perpindicular ) reflectors.
so I want to mount 4 t8 actinic bulbs in the hood and I origionally wanted 1" off the water surface with 2 mounted at the extreme front and 2 at the rear .
What does everyone think?
Should I mount them higher?
If I do I couldnt see much benefit except that it may block less light cause there are closer to the light source and not blocking as much light spread.
Thanks for your feed back. smile.gif
