Mounting VHOs Under Spider MH Reflectors

[Jon]

The title sort of says it. I'm building a new canapy for my 75g RR and I've got 2 175w MH and 2 48" VHO aticnic bulbs to mount. Problem is that the spider reflectors for the MHs are 16" deep if mounted perpendictular to the front of the tank. This does not leave any room for the VHOs. My only choice is then to mount them somewhere under the reflectors.

Has anyone had this problem or know if the VHOs would cause any shadowing if mounted under the MHs. Comments or suggestions?

Thanks,

Jon................

I have them mounted that way and have not noticed any shadows.
