Now that the lights are working how high should they be above the tank?

Outer Orbit HQI/T5HO for a 180 gallon tank.

You want them low enough to get the most possible light out of them... but high enough to provide air circulation so you don't overheat the water and get any water splashing on the glass covers.
5-8 inches sounds about right though.
