I recently got a steal:
I got a 90g tank and stand a 75g tank and a 50g cube with stand along with 2 400w hamilton metal halide pendants..
I am wanting to setup the 50g cube 25x18x25. I know 1 of the 400w halides is overkill but I want to put one over the cube...I don't want the hassel of trying to trade them or selling them then having to buy new halides waiting for them to arrive.
How far over the tank should the pendant hang? since the halide is more for 30" deep tanks and the cube is 25" I was thinking around 12" above the tank would be finemaybe start around 18"-24" above the tank and work my way down to 12"
what do you think?
