So I just installed my new Aquatic life t5 hybrid and went 2 ft off the waterline. I went this hight because its a low boy 80 gallon tank. Thoughts?

I plan to run radions 10 hours, and t5s for 3 hours at peak. I'm worried that at that height my acros won't get enough light

I dropped it to 18 inches. I will run the t5s for 3-4 hours from 12 to 3 at peak. I'm going to keep 50% intensity for thr time being and observe the acros to see what the need. I plan to keep the 18 inches and each week go up on intensity by 1%
