    LPS on the bottom and possibly shaded. Start the SPS low and slowly move them to where you want them to be.

    This is a duplicate thread. The other thread is titled 12" Modular Aqua Illuminations, that one has more responses.

    Yup, although the AI gives you some flexibility as you can dim it. So, you don't necessarily need to move things up, if you are putting them all in at once. You can just put them where you want and start out at low output, probably less then 50% and gradually increase it a bit everyday. You may never need to use the max setting though, it is very bright.
