Not sure. Probably 10 or 12 inches. Height will be determined by spread. Using a lumenarc reflector, so spread should be enough for most of the area. Not too concerned with intensity, the corals can handle it fine. Supplementing with 2 T5 superblue for pre/post daylight.

Why not a 36" cube? Your halide light pattern is square anyway

Too big, would stick out too far into the room. I had a 36" cube frag tank, and found it tough to work in.
