My bulbs are 8" off the surface and I don't get much spray. I might have to clean the bulb's and reflector every 6 months.

Not harping on you Bob but Covering a tank won't work in "Most" situations.
A question was asked, and I answered with what I do. There is no need for editorial comment or indeed a need for correcting what I do.

It is true up to a point. I once removed the cover from one tank, but have since put it back on, as I no longer use the MH light.

Thanks guys,
That's what I figured. Have you ever had any problems with too much UV? I have 3 Acro's that are kinda pale. I only thought they went pale from too much UV. I'm running 6 95 watt VHO bulbs. Some of my SPS have great color, and then there are the 3 that are kinda pale looking.

Mike
