MH distance from water surface?
It is a DIY retro 175w 20k XM bulb, going over a 20g standard size tank. There is no glass or aycrilic between the light and the water. How far should the light be placed above the surface of the water? I'm thinking 12"-16". Does this sound about right?
thanks |
I believe that the light is usuall 6" - 8" above the surface of the water.

water splashing on a hot bulb...
|
I have mine about 5" from the water, haven't had any mishaps yet...knock knock.
|
I run mine about 8 inches off the water.
|
with all that flow ? and no splash...I find that hard to believe.
I run my DE shielded fixtures at least 8-10" and have to clean the splash. I guess I must have surface flow. |
