henward Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hi all, i am looking at putting a metal halide light on my 8 foot 1200 litre tank. to plant it. there are two bulbs. How far should i have the ligt from the water? o does it not matter? is it more important to have the path from the light to the water unobstructed or the light source closer? WARREN: this is your fixture - can yu tell me how you set it up? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 About 300mm from the water surface is where I had it sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
