lighting height off tank
 

Hi,
Me again, I have a 30X12X21" aquarium with a water height of 17", I have a 24" Coralife 130W light with one 65W Daylight and one 55W daylight and a t5 with 2-Blue actnic 03 flourescents. I have a Frogspawn and Nephlea(/sp) and some fish & LR.
Right now my light sits on tank top of tank with eggcrate but I am getting a lot of salt build up on Acrylic covers.
Question could I raise the light a couple of inches above the top and not affect the light reqirements for mushrooms and softies?
Jim

You can use these with the fixture you have.

Thanks for reply Joe Reefer,
I have the clear 'risers', what I wanted to know if it would effect the placement of my softies etc. I understand that flourescent fixtures haven't got the water penetration that a halide would so limits what and where you can add to Aquarium.
So with my lighting (130W total flourescent) I could raised them slightly 2"-3" and still be OK?
Jim

Shouldn't be a problem with softies, etc.

Second that. :lol:

Thanks to all!
Now maybe I can clear up my salt accumulation on acrylic covers.
Thanks
Jim

Yeah, I'm using PC lighting (192W total) on my tank and I use the mounting legs. I've kept hairy mushroom coral, pulsing xenia, frog spawn and a green open brain coral....all with no problems, happy as can be :biggrin:
