you want more that 8 inches on a hood you are going to use for MH lights. i would suggest no smaller than 10 inches. those babies are very very hot. If you have them that close to the water you are going to need a chiller or get your corals some iced lemonade and sunblock
i just started building a hood for my mh light (3 400 watt) it is 13 inches tall with i believe that i am going to put 12 fans on it. I think this should enable me to not have a chiller.
