how high should i have my t5 fixture hanging over my tank from the surface?
so far i have a 20 or so sps and ima make it a dominate sps only. so i wanna get a good amount of light everywhere.

for your height of a tank, i would put it at 6" above the water surface. you can get more light penetration by running a carbon reactor to make the water clearer.
