Hello Everyone,
I'm a neewbie to the forum, and am setting up a new reef system. It is a 42W x 32D x 22H Rimless system.
Equipment:
My question is: How far should the bulb be from the waters surface? I have read on RC it should be 22" from the surface but it seems a bit far. Can anyone shed some light hahaha:no pun intended) for me.
I am intending to keep mostly SPS's in this system with a few softies and possibly some frog spawn.
Thanks for the help, I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone on the forum.

PS. I'll post some picts as the system comes together, the glass is still a few weeks out.
