Distance from water to light fixture
 

What is everyone's recommendations on the distance from the top of the water to the bulbs. What is the closest and farthest? What height do you keep your lights at?

Would think type and wattage would be a factor.

When planning my hood for 250W DE pendants I contacted a couple of companies for height above water. From Hamilton for their Reefstar pendants they recommended 8" above water, from PFO and their mini-pendants they said 5 ".

I ended up placing the bottom of my PFO fixtures 5.5" above the water.

Depth of tank and what your planning on putting in it also is important to know.
