How far above the water line should the light fixture be setup? I have a 46-gallon Bowfront that is 20" deep. Light Fixture is the T5 Nova Extreme which has the Parabolic reflector increasing the intensity. The standoffs that came with the light put it 7 1/2" above the water line.
I have been checking out setups at several LFS's and it looks like they have their lights higher up than that. Does anyone know what the optimal distance would be for this setup? If I'm too close, I'm wondering if that is causing any issues.
TIA for the replies!
