I would put them 12"-18" above the tank. Do you have a canopy to help keep the light in the tank. With the mh above there will be alot of light excaping.

That's plenty of light for a frag tank. Definitely mount it above the tank like Bulldog suggested otherwise you you will most likely be dealing with heat issues.
