wow Congrats on the lights. The higher the lights the more spread of the lighting. You may have to find the right balance with your tank and keep it high enough so water dont get on it. You have the controller too. must post pics when setup lol

thanks, its an awesome package, i know Allan had them at about 12in from the tank, ill probably start there and i was thinking about starting at 10% in the morning and go up to about 30% mid day for a couple of days, then ill slowly crank it up..... yes sir i will post pics..... my reef tank got a more expensive present than i did haha im good with that
