Just purchased 3 250watt MH for my 135gal (w/10K Hamiltons). I am building a canopy & also installing 2 of my old 72" VHO's with actinic's.
I have been reading thru some old threads on the subject and many of you have your MH as close as 4"...??? Wow.
I have about 40 soft corals and some LPS, but want to get some acro's.
Will 8" or 9" be too close for the softies?
Any suggestions on acclimation?
Should I mount 1 VHO on each side of the MH?
A 12" high canopy is much easier to build since I can buy 1x12 boards (actually 3/4 x 11 1/4")
But I dont want to mount too close. (I will be installing 2 fans and I have a chiller) Thanks
