Question - what height are people running theirs at over the water surface?

We run ours @ 14.5" above the surface but I doubt that is the recommended height.

Oh wow.

The reason I ask is I'm running mine at 6" above the surface, but after 2 months with them, I'm starting to notice colour loss in a lot of SPS (getting way more pastel-ish in colour - polyps have colour but white in between the polyps). Am I running mine too low? I put in 3 Mitras, each replacing a 400W Radiums on lumenarc reflectors.

I would just dial back the overall intensity. There is no reason to move them up unless you want more light spread.
