I think if u use lenes you can mount any hieght you want, some are mounting as low as 10" off water, and others higher up, think just depends on weather you use lenes or not. The colors that were picked for the dream chip are the colors that some reefers are already using, and was decided by what they can do for the corals. I posted the link here for those that are interested in joining the group buy. You will never get everyone to decide on everything....lol, what makes us human. There are so many options out there for LEDS that well you can build what ever u want. I am looking at the chips as my main light source, and possibly adding other colors later if needed. Face it with the cost of T5 bulbs and metal halide and how often you have to replace, where as Leds if powered right should last 30,000 hrs min.

I actually like the mix in these "Dream" emitters. Similar to what I would choose.

A search on the net on builds of this nature will give you plenty of info. But, yeah, if you're unsure about diy something like this, then it's best to look for something already manufactured, such as a Kessil. EDIT: Here's a how to vid on utube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSPnDY557AA
