As noted above, get the metal type. Just be sure it is not plastic coated as some are sold.tecwzrd said:Is screen door material safe to use with MH lighting as well due to the heat the bulbs put off if moving corals wasn’t an option?
Depends on the starting height relative to the water line and the intensity of the bulbs. Water clarity will also factor in here. Generally speaking though, for every 3" raised above optimum, you potentially reduce the light penetration by as much as 30%.How high would you have to raise the MH lighting compared to PC if not
