Gouldian Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Am using 2X150w MH 15k lightings. What is the ideal distance between coarls?? Be it sps or lps etc.... Most reccomends 6 - 8 inches away from the water surface. MH are able to penetrate up to 2.5ft to 3ft effectively for most corals.

SRC Member qazwer Posted July 5, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 5, 2005 By placing to close to the water surface will gradually heat up the water, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouldian Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 By placing to close to the water surface will gradually heat up the water, right? Yup. Plus a fluke case of a fish splashing water on the heated glass surface of the MH will be catastrophic!
