Yea your god I mounted mine based on what worked really well for g4 . I have lowered the canopy to 15” off the water line and I getting 225 at the top of my scape at 70% intensity. I just received my two t5 fixtures and will be adding some supplemental lighting to help increase par and colorization. Both t5 strips will be down the center of the canopy I went with blue plus and aqua blue special since they will only be used for the peak lighting period of 5 hours
Thanks for the info. I did notice you mounted them fairly high. I have a 12" canopy from planet so I should be at perfect height.
Do you have a build thread I would love to see your progress

Coming up on the one year mark since I started the cycle of the tank. It has been a long and painful process but I have learned a lot about my tank. Lost a lot of coral in the process, some due to a mini tank crash when the temp spiked, others through not enough light and nutrient balance. Well it looks like it’s all starting to come to fruition can’t wait to see where I’m at next year.
