Hey guys, How far above the water should these lights be? there is no glass tops on my tank at all. The canopy in only five inches deep. I fugured with the reflector and all it may be too close to the water. I was thinking of building a deeper fram to the canopy and using the existing lid.

Did you order the MH from ebay, the link i gave you? If you did the reflector is 8" high. so it wont even fit...

Go figure. I did order those from ebay. If you look at the gallery I think all I have to do is build the Frame of the canopy deeper and use the existing lid. I hope I can match the stain on it That is the only concern. It should cost maybe $25-$30.00 for a piece of plywood.
