Hi all,
I have a 4' 55g mixed reef. I have a currents marine orbit setup which has been great for softies, but now i want to try growing more sps. Other than montis this rig has not been sufficient. I want to add supplemental lights, and After doing lot at of research I've settled on on earth "black box" unit from galaxy's hydro. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00INM0J1M/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1482798579&sr=8-4&keywords=galaxyhydro It's only 16", so I'll only be growing higher light corals in the part of the tank that I covers.
My question is about mounting. All the mounting options I've found suggest the unit should be around a foot above the tank. However, since my orbit marine sits right above the tank, won't that unit significantly "shadow out" my new galaxy hydro? Does this not matter? Or should I figure out a way for the galaxy hydro to sit much closer to the water?
