I think 3 should work fine at 9-10” off the water. Especially considering the aquascape likely won’t be touching the sides of the tank. If you want to reduce/eliminate any chances of shadowing, angle the two fixers on the ends of the tank towards the center so they are tilted a bit. You can see how I mounted these on my friends tank with the ends one angled inwards for that very reason. This tank was about 60” long if memory serves me correct.


I have all of mine angled towards center as well to eliminate shadowing but my tank is much larger with a lot more lighting.
