With the hood that I am in the process of building, the furthest I can get the bulb off if the water surface is 7.5 inches. I am placing 3/4" spacers between the reflector and the top of the hood to allow for air flow. If you think I chould scrap that Idea to get the bulb higher off of the water surface I can do that too but I thought it was a good idea to have the air flow to cool off. Also I have to place the parallel to the front of the tank. Will this be ok too? Please let me know what you think.
