about how far away from the top

Oh I would say around 6" from the top of the water. Just really depends on how sensative your corals may be to the light. Other factors are what type of reflector/pendant you may have, how your canopy is designed and how much room you may have to work with.

do you already have the 75 set up? b/c i am building a new canopy as we speak , you can come by and check it out. You can see what to do and what NOT to do.
