Distance between 250w MH and water?

[Kabong]

How high are your 250w mh lights away from your water?

cut fr another post:

When planning my hood for 250W DE pendants I contacted a couple of companies for height above water. From Hamilton for their Reefstar pendants they recommended 8" above water, from PFO and their mini-pendants they said 5 ".

I ended up placing the bottom of my PFO fixtures 5.5" above the water.

My lights are 8 - 10 inches above the high water line of my tank.

My Current USA came with little legs that only raise the light 3" - 4 " from the top of the tank.
