Good news. Just found out the company that makes the stands does a 15 inch canopy for reefs. I think I could put the taotronics lights inside the canopy.
Thanks Carey. You are a wealth of info. How high is your canopy? I would like to get the lights under the hood, but the standard seems to be 7". That seems to low. I think you want the lights a minimum of 7" above water with means you need probably 15 in to have enough room.
Ordering tank, stand and canopy for my 120. Good reviews on the taotronics lights, plus a huge savings. 2 questions (1) what power heads would you use for a 120, and, (2) what test kits would you get for reef? I was looking at API saltwater and reef master kit.
I saw in a customer review that someone cut holes in the canopy and installed acrylic so the lights didn't get water on them. I think I may get 2 165 w. Again, thanks!
One more thing, how far above the water do they need to be? I will have a canopy, but doubt you could mount these to the top and have enough room. Again, thanks for your help, learning a lot. Bet your 180 is awesome!
Thanks for the input! I am going to set it up refugium. Carey, if you put multiple Current strips on, would that help, or do you run into the same problem?
